Elska #47 Munich - Vol. 1 & 2 Bundle

Elska is a bi-monthly photography and culture publication dedicated to sharing the bodies and voices of gay communities all over the world. Each issue is made in a different city where readers get to know to several local gay guys through honest photography and personal storytelling. One article described Elska as "part intellectual queer pin-up mag and part sexy anthropology journal", and another as "probably the nicest, most sincere magazine ever". We quite like that!

About Elska Munich (Germany):

Welcome to our double-volume forty-seventh issue, made in Munich. This marks our second time in Germany, and our second time releasing two separate volumes for one city — we simply couldn't fit everything into one mag, so we had to give you two!

Inside this set you'll get to know seventeen ordinary local Munich men. We shot them in their city's streets and in their homes, letting you get to know them through our natural and intimate style of photography. Then, you'll get even closer with the addition personal stories, written by each of the men on any topic of their choosing.

Some of the stories you'll read here include: Dat N's plea to treat older gays with dignity, set in a gay sauna where such men become invisible or even the object of disgust; Jan G's discovery of ballroom and rugby and how these discoveries helped him discover himself; Luis A G P's look back at a hard childhood and the realisation that he doesn't need to forgive those who hurt him; and Lukas G's reflection on why he decided to do this photoshoot for Elska.

‘Elska Munich’ features sixteen chapters spread over two separate volumes. These chapters are dedicated to the following local participants: Dat N, Luis A G P, Lukas G, Thomas F, Dmytro S, Dario P, Steini S, Alonso N Q, Oleg G, Timothy H, Flavio A, Lukas M, Micha P, Jan G, Christoph H, Filip S, and Jakob P.
