With a new stunning issue published on March 7, Elska Magazine celebrates queer men of Buenos Aires. Through a mix of personal storytelling and intimate photography, the new edition brings readers on a nine-day journey to the iconic Argentinian capital.
Elska Magazine is a project dedicated to sharing the bodies and voices of LGBTQ+ communities worldwide. In its 51st issue, the magazine includes intimate images of a dozen queer men portrayed in their homes or the streets of Buenos Aires. The men are showcased dressed in their own style or very nude, honouring their real and diverse beauty.
The photos are accompanied by narratives based on extensive diaries kept during the journey through the Argentinian capital, detailing meetings with the subjects. The storytelling brings readers even closer to these men and their life in the city.
Speaking about the new issue, Elska editor, writer and chief photographer Liam Campbell said: “I have wanted to visit Buenos Aires for years, but I just kept putting it off, probably due to the distance and high cost of flights, and maybe some political instability.”
“However, last year we ran a vote amongst our annual subscribers to choose any city in the world where they’d like to see us make a future Elska, and Buenos Aires won. I had no excuse any longer, so I finally went.”
“I immediately understood why so many people wanted us to feature Buenos Aires,” Campbell continued. “It’s a truly wonderful place, absolutely in my top ten cities in the world, but the men there were the real highlight. They were gorgeous, easy-going, and incredibly warm.
“It is this warmth that because the theme for this book, especially in the text — how much warmth they gave, and how I struggled in my Britishness to give them the warmth they deserved in return. I suppose they say that Latin men are hot-blooded, and I can now say that it’s pretty true!”
Elska Buenos Aires is available both in print format and in a downloadable e-version at www.elskamagazine.com. In addition, the issue is accompanied by the Elska Ekstra Buenos Aires companion ezine, containing two more men and their stories, plus hundreds of additional images.
