Photobomb (or Photocrash): v., adj.; the act (to photocrash, to photobomb) of anonymously appearing in the background of a planned photograph. Participants often pop up in the foreground or background just as the photograph is taken. Participants are often strangers, and are sometimes not human.Photobombing is not a new phenomenon, but has seen a resurgence in popularity with the aid of various blogs and celebrities. Actor Michael Cera (Juno, Arrested Development) loves to pop into the background of photographs, and a curious, brazen squirrel popped into the foreground of two tourists last year.
Here is Cera discussing his hobby:
A reverse photobomb is when a person poses near an unsuspecting person for amusement and documentation. (Some images on that link are NSFW.)
