How to Avoid Photo Bombers

You've seen photos where someone photobombed the picture. It's hilarious until it happens to you. It's often done as a practical joke, but you can't always duplicate the perfect picture. The last thing you want is for your meaningful moment to become one people laugh at. Here are some tips to help avoid photobombers.

Avoid Crowds

An empty space is a sage space. If you can reduce the number of people around, you can also avoid the number of people who might want to photobomb you. You can improve your chances by either getting to your destination early or late.

Opt for Quick-Fire Pictures

If you can't avoid the crowds, it's best that you take your pictures quickly to avoid photobombers. It helps if you can do this discreetly. You'll want to get in position while choosing the best angle for your shot. It helps to imagine how your picture will turn out before you take it. Then, quickly take your shot.

Ask People, Politely, if They Would Move

You don't want to repeatedly ask people to move, but you may not have a choice. If people move out of the way for your photo, take your photo quickly and be sure to extend the same courtesy.

Full Body Shots vs Portrait Shots

The closer you are to your subject, the less likely you will experience a photobombing trying to get in the way of your photo. This helps if you take a picture of your subject from the waist up. Take note that you don't want a lot of space behind your subject either for the same reason. You have other options to replace background in a portrait as well, in case you do get a photobomber in your perfect shot.
