How to photo-bomb

Whether you want to admit it or not we have all “photo-bombed” and been “photo-bombed” during some point in our lives. Some of us started when we were little, such as putting “bunny-ears” over our friend’s head or those funny faces we use to make when our parents hit the camera button. But the art of photo-bombing has expanded since those days and now some people take this art of ruining pictures to the extreme.

So how do you make a successful photo-bomb? Well, simply by following these steps.

Step 1: Preparation, preparation, preparation

Always have a special face in mind to make the most out of the photo-bomb. Practicing in the mirror is perfectly fine. You can make your face look angry, sad, silly, or confused. Let your personality shine with the different faces you can create.

Step 2: Location is key

Any event where tons of people show up to is the place to be. Amusement parks, graduations, parties, weddings, etc. are all places where people are attached to their cameras at their hips, which makes it a lot easier to jump in a photo. As long as you find a decent size crowd, photo-bombing shouldn't be too difficult.

Step 3: Be on the prowl

Start looking for groups of people who are taking pictures the minute you get to an event. Scope out the different crowds; maybe you have a good friend who loves to capture every moment or that random family nearby taking family photos. Better yet, you might get your perfect chance when people aim their camera in your direction. Always be on the lookout since there are many opportunities for photo-bombs to happen spontaneously.

Step 4: Get in, Get out

Photo-bombing happens quickly so you don’t have much time. You have to creep into the picture quickly before the photographer realizes what you’re trying to do. Once you find that perfect picture to creep into you should nail the expression you’ve been practicing, enter the frame stealthily, and immediately return to your previous location as if nothing ever happened.

After completing all these steps you’ve created a successful photobomb!

There's NO Escape

From prom to poolside, nowhere is safe from photobombers! Think that boy standing behind you is a friend? He’s not. CAREFUL, even the nicest of people will resort to the craziest of antics just to jazz up your photo. Sexual innuendos, goofy grins and the infamous “full moon” are just a few bomber favorites. So, remember when taking pictures: 1) Get in close, 2) Smile big 3) ALWAYS look behind you and 4) Trust no one…

Swing batter, batter, swing!

Isn't that just one cute, little couple picture to put up on Facebook? It is, if you decide that having girls with skateboards in their hands is a nice edition. But this girl makes the picture. If you look at the couple they do not look happy at all. Just look at their faces; their smiles look forced like they are pretending everything is alright. The girl with the board in her hands seems more interesting, although she crept her way into it. Let's hope that this "friend" is pulling a joke or else some controversy will go down.....

You may now kiss the bride

What? You mean to say we weren’t invited to the wedding? Who cares, I’m gonna show up in my near birthday suit and hop in your romantic wedding picture, how ya like them apples? It will be nice when this newly-wed couple looks back at their wedding pictures to show their kids the day they got married, and are appalled to find some big, old, topless lady in the background. Keepin it classy right?

Maybe he was hungry?

I looked at this picture and immediately looked at the cupcakes only to look a few inches higher and there’s our ‘Class A’ stalker. Obviously this guy was looking at a little more than just the baking happening in this kitchen. I mean imagine looking at this picture after you take it; was he looking at the cupcakes or was he looking at what he thinks are pretty ladies? Hopefully it teaches the residents of this house to maybe lock their side fence once and awhile to prevent their cupcake/lady looker from sneaking around back. Don’t get me wrong though, those cupcakes did look a little on the delicious side, so he could have just wanted a better look of the fresh batch.

Where’s Waldo?

Are you seeing what I'm seeing? I'm seeing a nice booty spanking once someone's mommy sees this. This little boy is just creeping up in the bottom left corner doing his own thing. Now, no one can safely frame this without cutting him out. Plus, they can't show their kids this without saying, "Oh, thats's Sally, the next one is Connor and that one is- WTF?!......" Yeah little Johnny isn't so cool now.

Flashing the Birdies

For my final post, I’ll save the best for last, the creeps of all creepers “creepin” in pictures! What would you do if you are enjoying your night out, taking pictures with friends to remember the memorable moments of the night, and you find a random person in the background intruding on your photo. Not only does he sneak in the background to get in your picture and ruin it, but he is making an extremely weird face AND sticking out the middle fingers! He isn’t just flashing one middle finger, but both middle fingers! What did this group of three friends do to deserve getting “shot with a birdie” in their picture? These poor people. I always seem to think photo bombed pictures at clubs are the funniest, and this is why...
