Who is Noah Temple?
Hey, I'm Noah, a 22-year-old self-taught cinematographer and photographer from Fiordland, New Zealand. Growing up in a village of fewer than 300 people, right at the edge of New Zealand's most remote and harsh wilderness, shaped how I see the world. As a kid, I developed a real taste for adventure — rock climbing, freediving, hiking, sailing, snowboarding, motorsports, you name it!
At the age of twelve, I discovered photography, a way for me to capture moments in time, feelings, and experiences. It wasn't long after that that I discovered cinematography, and over the following four years I started to make the connection between my love for adventure and my love for creating.
I now had a way to capture the world and these experiences in a way that was uniquely mine.
My style naturally developed into one grounded in reality, diverging from that polished commercial look, and turning to a more authentic representation of the lived experience.
Three days after turning twenty, I was off on my first overseas adventure, travelling solo in Indonesia. I didn't realise it at the time, but this was the beginning of a whole new chapter for me — one that would reshape my entire philosophy behind what I do.
These days my creativity is focused on something much bigger than myself.
Somehow, despite being more connected than ever before, we've managed to create the loneliest generation ever to walk the face of this earth. We all have this deep-rooted need for something real—a need that can’t be satisfied through virtual means, but only through real life, actually getting out there and living!
My goal through creating is to reach and inspire as many people as possible. To help those who feel this deep-rooted need to break free but haven’t yet taken the jump.
I aim to build a community of like-minded people who share these same values, acting as a catalyst for meaningful connections and experiences.
