Meet the real hot men of Munich in Elska's newest issue

Next stop, Munich! After spoiling us with the studs of Yokohama and the men of Mumbai, Elska, the beloved photography showcase that is "dedicated to sharing the bodies and voices of LGBTQ+ communities around the world," wants us to meet the Men of Munich, Germany! And fortunately for us, the gentlemen from the Bavarian capital were just too great to contain in one issue, so Elska's Munich edition is being offered as a two-volume set! "Elska Munich is our forty-seventh issue and marks a long-overdue return to Germany, following Elska Berlin, which was our second issue," Elska's editor and chief photographer Liam Campbell said in a statement. "I knew we'd return to the country eventually, but I didn't expect that Munich would become the target city. Many people had warned me that this was a stuffy town full of arrogant and conservative people, but perhaps it was because of this negativity that I felt inspired to come here and challenge these notions." "Luckily the stereotypes proved wrong and I can hardly think of a city or people as welcoming, friendly, and bold," he continued. "I discovered such a spirit of enthusiasm from the men I met here to take part in my project, and this spurred me on to work harder than ever, meeting and photographing way more people than we could fit in an issue. That's why we decided, for only the second time in Elska history, to publish two separate volumes from one city."Scroll through to see more portraits from Elska's Munich issue.
