Despite initial struggles with photography coursework, he persevered, securing an apprenticeship at the Los Angeles Sentinel under Cliff Hall, gaining invaluable experience documenting urban life and capturing candid moments of everyday people. This formative period established a connection to visual narrative that would define his subsequent endeavors.- Early Career & The Sentinel: Bingham’s initial foray into photography began with an apprenticeship at the Los Angeles Sentinel, where he honed his skills under Cliff Hall's guidance. He documented the realities of urban life and captured intimate portraits of ordinary individuals—lessons that would prove crucial to his later work documenting pivotal historical events.
- Meeting Muhammad Ali: A chance encounter in 1962 with Cassius Clay (later Muhammad Ali) sparked a lifelong friendship that profoundly shaped Bingham’s artistic trajectory. Their immediate rapport fueled an interest in capturing the essence of Clay's charisma and ambition, culminating in his monumental biography, *Muhammad Ali: A Thirty-Year Journey*.
