(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!
Grabbing someone who is meant to be the centre of attention in a photograph out of the shot at the last second, meaning the photograph is minus a person that is meant to be snapped, as opposed to 'photobombing', where someone not meant to be in a picture gets themselves into it.
The grabbing out is preferably done with a hooked walking cane, in true cartoon fashion.
Chuck: "Dude, Carl is so up his own ass, go and reverse photobomb him out of that shot with all those dames."
Barry: "Let me grab my cane..."

When you see something so weird or amusing you have to bomb your own photo to get the goods. The opposite of a photobomb, where someone jumps in at the last second to be in it.
snapping that photo of the elephants boning behind you. No one wants to admit they were looking, but now you have photographic proof! reverse photobomb!
