About me

It all started with a passion.

My name is Temoe Poignant. I was born in Challans, Vendée, and grew up in Pornic, in the Loire-Atlantique region of France.

My story began when I was 17, with one passion: motorcycles. I spent most of my time riding and working on bikes with my friends, always trying to make them look better and perform even better. I also spent a lot of time taking photos and videos of everything with my phone.

One day, I borrowed my mother's old Nikon D3100 to try taking higher-quality pictures. I absolutely loved it, and that's when I started photographing my friends' motorcycles as well as my own, before sharing those photos on Instagram.

I decided to leave school before sitting my baccalaureate so I could start working and earn my own money. That's what allowed me to invest in my first camera, the Sony A7 IV. It was with that camera that I discovered video, and I fell in love with it. I sold my motorcycle to invest in more gear and practise making videos, alongside my job, for people who owned beautiful cars and motorcycles. I taught myself everything, I met the right people, and over time I built a real network in my region and my town.

The rebirth

After training for 3 years, on my own, with no school or course, and realising that this passion could become my full-time job, I felt the need to think bigger, meet new people and change my surroundings. I'm 21 today, and in June 2026 I made the decision to leave my full-time job as a restaurant floor manager, move far from the place I had always lived and devote myself 100% to this work, in the south of France, near Andorra.

I was lucky enough to be selected to join the OUTLINE Academy, an online school for professional filmmakers and a community of talented filmmakers who help each other. It took me to the next level and allowed me to excel in my field.

My vision

To take on the most ambitious projects, and always make my clients dream and feel emotion through my videos.
