Treasa Lynch is best known for taking photographs of the Irish kitesurfing community. Her kite photographs have been published in the Irish Times, FINS Irish Watersports Magazine, Outsider Magazine, RYANAIR Magazine, Cara Magazine (the Aer Lingus inflight magazine) and various local newspapers in Ireland and France.
Her photographs can be seen on the websites of many Irish kitesurfers and on the KB4Girls site run by Kristin Boese. She also provides photographic support to the Irish Kitesurfing Association. In 2008 and 2009, with the aid of Pure Magic Kitesurfing, she mounted a photography exhibition on Dollymount Strand during the annual kitesurfing extravaganza held there at the start of the summer. A number of her photographs are on permanent exhibition in Pure Magic Kitesurfing in Clontarf in Dublin.
In addition to shooting leisure and competitive kitesurfing in Ireland, she has shot kite travel trips to Morocco and Brazil, and she has shot competitive kitesurfing in France and Portugal, and leisure kitesurfing in Tarifa, Tenerife and Australia.
In addition to shooting kitesports, she also shoots other extreme sports when she gets a chance, and picked up a prize for motorsports photography from Mondello Race Track during 2009. Outside the sports arena, she specialises in ethereal long exposures taken when sensible people are asleep and quirky little product thingies.
Plans for the future involve a project called Sixteen and a book of non-sports photography. She also intends to make prints available to order during 2010.
