photobesity 

When a person looks way more overweight in a photo than in real-life, and not just in a 'the camera adds ten pounds' way. Not even the most flattering of clothing can offset the condition, and subsequently the induvidual avoids being in photos, or stands behind others in a group picture. This condition usually strikes females.
Sara: I saw that picture of you at Dawns' party on her Facebook page. Your rack is HUGE!
Mandy: Ugh, I know. I have big boobs anyway, but in pictures they seem to double in size, along with the rest of me. I have such photobesity.

Anti-photogenetic 

Contrary to popular belief, anti-photogenic is not the opposite of photogenic

Anti-photogenesis is one's ability to be so sexy that forces other people to refuse to be in photos with them in fear of the other people not being able to display their complete awesomeness

Photogeneric

When a person is always ready for photos, but doesn't necessarily look good in then.
Person A: Dude, look at this photo I just took of us!
Person B: Delete it.
Person A: Why? You weren't blurry or anything.
Person B: Yeah, but I'm so photogeneric there. I didn't even smile.
