Let's talk about photobombs

Photobomb, n. photograph that has been spoiled by the unexpected appearance of an unintended subject in the camera's field of view as the picture was taken.

Everyone knows what it is. So many of us have done it. Here's how a professional photographer feels when it's done...

Admittedly, it can be funny, but only about 1% of the time. The other 99% of the time, it's so frustrating.

Here's a perfect example. One of my largest clients is OSU. At an event recently - where they pay me good money for great photos - an older gentleman photobombed at least 5 of my images at a professional event. And RUINED them for my client.

So next time you're considering photobombing, think about the person whose money and time you're wasting, and consider what it would be like to have someone show up to your office and "accidentally" delete that presentation you've been working on for hours.

Happy Friday!
