Act of making an unsolicited appearance in a photograph
Photobombing is the act of purposely putting oneself into the view of a
photograph, often in order to play a
practical joke on the photographer or the subjects.[1] Photobombing has received significant coverage since 2009.[2] In discussing a "stingray photobomb" picture that became popular, Andrea DenHoed suggests that the photobomb label "implies a narrative of surreptitious sabotage,"[2] although in the sense of unintended or initially unnoticed people in the background of spoiled photographs, photobombs have existed for much of the history of photography.
On social media, a man in a giraffe costume has been seen speeding past a family on a ski slope in
Colorado posing for a picture, which is an example of a video photobomb.[10]
