To photobomb is to spoil a photograph of (a person or thing) by unexpectedly appearing in the camera’s field of view as the picture is taken, typically as a prank or practical joke.
The term ‘photobomb’ is a result of the blending and clipping of the words ‘photography’ and ‘bomb’. The word makes use of the negative connotation that ‘bomb’ carries and places it in the context of the realm of photography.
