This is definitely a thing I've observed (marginalised groups being missed out of the photos). Why weren't they able to make it? Was it because they were only asked last minute? Is it because they keep getting cut out the loop? Some sort of passive protest? A deliberately awkward schedule?

I remember a story a few years ago where the woman missing from the photo was missing because... they were in a women-only meetup during the conference, followed by several interviews because they were the only woman there.

Or there’s a pandemic?
