Treasa Lynch takes photographs. She is one of the best known kitesurfing photographers in Ireland, and her photographs have been published in the Irish Times, Cara Magazine, FINS Irish Watersports Magazine, Outsider, Ryanair, the Mayo News, Sligo News, Sligo Weekly, Ouest-France and Dubliner Magazine. Outside the watersports field, she has also had work appear in – somewhat left of centre – Astronomy & Space and Woodturning Magazine.
Her photography also features on the websites of a number of Irish and international kitesurfers, and she has licensed work to the Irish Kitesurfing Association for the last 4 years. She has taken photographs of some of the top kitesurfers in the world, including past and current world champions such as Kevin Langeree, Kristin Boese, Steph Bridge and Bruno Sroca and has taken photographs in Brazil, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Ireland and Australia.
In addition to kitesurfing photography, she does some travel photography, some surf photography, some macro art based photography and right now wishes she was outside watching the sunset because the sky is a glorious colour. It looks as though the volcanic ash babies have started to arrive.
Treasa has always been most influenced by Philippe Plisson who is especially recognised as one of the best marine photographers in the world, and although there is occasionally a heavy emphasis on leisure activities and the sea at the moment, she is also very interested in the sea itself, humanity’s relationship with the sea. Boats, lighthouses and waves have always featured strongly in her interests.
Currently, she is working on putting a book together, also to be called Living for Light, and in addition to selecting photographs for that, she is working on a number of other marine based projects, including the abandoned boats project (which is hampered by people cleaning up their harbours), the boat graveyards of France, and has some plans to do a piece of work on coastal lighthouses in Ireland.
