Howard Bingham

Howard Bingham (born Jackson, Mississippi, 1939 is the biographer of Muhammed Ali and a professional photographer.

He was the son of a minister and Pullman porter for the US railroad. After initially failing a photography course, he was hired by a local newspaper and there he met the young Cassius Clay (later to become Muhammed Ali). The two built up an instant rapport and many years later, Bingham went on to write arguably the definitive book on Ali, "".

Bingham was the first black photographer to work on a Hollywood Camera Guild crew. His photographs have been published in magazines and periodicals including: "Life, Look, Time, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, People, Ebony" and others.
