Reverse Photobomb

(verb)- a photo taken without the knowledge and awareness of the person in the foreground, but known and planned by the person in the background and the photo taker. Basically the reverse of a traditional photobomb, where someone unsuspectingly jumps into the background of a people-posed photo.

Lark: Hey Jan, let's reverse photobomb Craig!
Jan: I'll run up behind Craig and pose. If he see's me, he'll have no idea what I'm doing.
Lark: This is going to be a great RPB pic! Let's RPB Gike Mallego next!
