Photobombing is the act of getting in someone else’s photo, whether intentional or not. Usually, an intentional photobomber will get into the background of someone else’s photo, which is easy to do, since the photographer is not usually looking at the background. Only when the photo is reviewed (sometimes just a few seconds later with digital cameras) will the intruder be seen. By then, it is usually too late to retake the photo, especially if the subject or subjects were candid.
Then there’s the unintentional photobomber, who is included in the photo only because the photographer didn’t check his or her field of vision first. After all, the photographer should be aware of what he or she is photographing. Or not?
Take a look at the photo below. Kind of makes you wonder if the couple were aware of the third person, doesn’t it?
