There are no plans to visit New Zealand or Australia in the near future but check out the website at and let Liam know if you wish to be involved. I was there shooting last week and the issue will be out 1st November.”

The bi-monthly magazine is on stands in Australia and they can also be purchased online.Ĭampbell concludes, “I’m so excited for the Elska project and look forward to the year ahead, full of new cities and new guys.”
MASCULINE GAY MEN WITH TWINK SERIES
The Lviv edition is the first in a planned series of editions for gay men who seek an authentic view of the homosexual experience from around the world.Įach issue will be shot in a different city with local boys and local stories, celebrating the beauty of its subjects’ imperfections. The stories accompanying the photographs of Lviv’s men add depth and intimacy to the experience, and readers get real insight into the models.Įach subject was asked to write a short, personal piece of text to provide a glimpse into their lives – either in Ukranian (translated for the final issue) or in their practiced English. “In the end we found an amazing cross-section of men through personal connections – and this gave the finished issue exactly the authenticity we wanted.” “A couple of guys we met started talking, and they introduced us to more and more friends who were interested in taking part.” FYI: Technically speaking, twinks can also be pups but they aren’t exactly the same. That’s a twink subtype in case you didn’t know. You see, if a twink is referred to as having pretty features, they are referred to as a glamour twink. The creative force behind Elska, Campbell said the models for the shoot were tracked down via a German dating site that was popular within Lviv. Many gay men mistakenly think of Twinks as pretty but that would be incorrect. “The people are also beautiful – even the police look as though they’ve stepped off a catwalk – it was hard not to invite everyone to step in front of my camera.” “The buildings look old because they are old, with a captivating worn-in beauty. “It’s a ridiculously beautiful place, but the best part is that the city doesn’t feel reconstructed or touched-up,” Campbell said. Labels of any kind can be polarizing and exclusive, but at some point the community reclaimed these words as something more, and I wanted to celebrate that.Editor and photographer of Elska Liam Campbell said that Ukraine, and particularly Lviv, was chosen for the first edition of Elska because it is Ukraine’s cultural capital. Second is my interest in how these labels have been reclaimed by the LGBTQ community as something lighthearted, erotic, comical, or otherwise endearing. Says Tuller on his interest in the project: “First and foremost is my love of drawing hairy men. It seemed like an interesting area to explore.” It’s interesting how certain people relate to themselves as a certain type or label especially when going out and having fun, while others are repulsed by the idea of fitting into a label. “It got me thinking how many stereotypes there are really in the LGBTQ community. “The topic, well, it just made me chuckle,” he says. Kuczynski says he found himself in a gay bar one night listening in on some dudes talking about what stereotypical categories they belonged in. The posters are available for $18 each, and some of the proceeds will go to the “Think B4 You Speak” campaign, which supports LGBT teens and raises awareness about homophobia and the use of terms like “That’s so gay,” “Dyke” and “Faggot.”
