Your story, beautifully captured
Based in Palm Springs, often in Dallas and Fort Worth. Open to travel.
Hi, I’m Bino.
I’m a photographer, choreographer, and creative director based in Palm Springs, California, working regularly across Los Angeles, San Diego, the Bay Area, and Texas. My work spans commercial brands, live performance, and education, with credits alongside Hulu, the NBA, National Geographic, AT&T, American Airlines Center, Chase Center, and Wedify.
Outside the lens, I teach dance, photography, art, and science through afterschool programs and Bollywood Dance Central, working with students from kids to adults across instruction, rehearsal, and full-scale performance.
Whether I’m on set, in a studio, or in a classroom, my approach is always the same: show up fully and make something real.

What I Do
PHOTOGRAPHY
I stay out of the way and shoot what actually happens.
CONTENT CREATION
Shot and edited on iPhone and DJI. Fast turnaround, built for the feed.
CHOREOGRAPHY, LESSONS & MIXES
Private lessons, sangeets, first dances, and full stage shows. I teach all ages, and I run large groups and corporate events too. My team and I take it from first rehearsal to final bow, and the mix you rehearse to is the mix that plays.
WORKSHOPS & TEACHING
I teach people to use the camera they already own. Schools, companies, and private sessions, kids through adults, phones through full manual. Nobody leaves on auto.
BRANDING & PORTFOLIO
Helping creators, artists, and small brands build a visual identity that communicates who they actually are.
Education & Afterschool Programs
Since September 2024, I’ve worked with Bollywood Dance Central bringing dance, photography, and creative direction into school and community programs across California, on session-based contracts running through 2026.
Dance Instructor
Taught Bollywood and Bhangra dance programs at school and community sites in Santa Rosa, Fresno, Pioneer, and Palm Springs, CA, on session-based contracts with Bollywood Dance Central running through at least 2026.
Photographer & Creative Director
Provided photography for Bollywood Dance Central’s Santa Rosa program, then served as photographer and creative director for a school district project in the Fresno area.
Performer
Contracted to perform at live shows and events alongside Bollywood Dance Central’s roster of instructors and performers.

Cost, timing, and travel
Do you travel outside Palm Springs?
Yes. I’m based in Palm Springs, California, and I work in Dallas and Fort Worth regularly. I also shoot in Los Angeles, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area, Austin, and Houston, and I’m available to travel further for the right event.
Can you photograph and choreograph the same wedding?
Yes, and it’s the most useful thing I offer. Booking both means the person shooting your first dance is the person who staged it, so the camera is already in the right place when the moment happens. Most people have to hire two vendors who have never spoken.
Do you do wedding and sangeet choreography?
Yes. My team and I run it from first rehearsal to final bow: choreography, rehearsal scheduling, a custom mix, show direction, and lighting and staging cues. That covers sangeets, first dances, family numbers, and full stage shows.
Do you teach private dance lessons?
Yes, private lessons for couples and individuals, whether you’re preparing for a specific event or just want to learn.
Do you make custom mixes?
Yes, and I make them myself. The mix you rehearse to is the mix that plays. No last minute surprises on the dance floor because someone swapped the track.
What kinds of events do you shoot?
Weddings and sangeets, corporate and private events, concerts and live performance, dance competitions, car shows, portraits and headshots, and editorial work. Past credits include Hulu, the NBA, National Geographic, AT&T, American Airlines Center, and Chase Center.
How far in advance should I book?
At least two months is ideal, and more if there’s choreography involved, since that needs real rehearsal time. If your date is sooner than that, ask anyway. Thirty days is usually workable.
How long until I get my photos?
Two to six weeks. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the group and how many events I’m covering. One portrait session comes back a lot faster than a multi day wedding.
How much does it cost?
There are no template packages. Every event is quoted for what it actually needs, so a two hour portrait session and a three day wedding aren’t priced off the same sheet. Tell me the date, the location, and what you’re planning, and I’ll send you a number.
Do you take a deposit?
Yes. Fifty percent up front secures your date. Until that’s in, the date stays open to anyone else who asks for it.
Do you charge for travel?
Tell me where and when, and travel is folded into the quote rather than billed as a surprise afterward.
Let’s make something real.
Tell me what you’re planning. No template packages, just a conversation.
Thank you.
