I noticed that as well, but only in groups that are mainly men. I immediately wondered if it was the effect of (unconscious, presumably) bias on the photographer's part – i.e. that in a photo of a group of male friends, the women are decorative or less essential somehow. Another explanation is that the guys all knew each other well while they only knew the girls in the photos in passing, making them harder to track down. But the photographer managed to track down so many other people, that hardly seems to explain it. |

From the text he took a lot of photos. If he advertised in local newspapers, school/football club sites etc, he wouldn't need to find everyone. He'd just need find someone who could get a quorum of the people from a particular photo.
As such, it's probably more likely that he'd only find friends as he wouldn't need to find the group, just an individual. If, for example, he had found one of the girls but not a boy, chances are he wouldn't have taken the photo.
