“Elska is an independent, gay publication series dedicated to sharing honest and diverse photography and storytelling from around the world. Each edition is dedicated to one city and centres around the men we meet on that journey. It’s all about expressing our passion for travel, naked men, unfiltered honesty and embracing the beauty of imperfection.”
Elska
Our original ‘bookazine', published since 2015, Elska is all about exploring the world through a gay lens. Each issue is documentary of an individual city told through photography and stories of ordinary, local men. Referred to by The Advocate as 'probably the nicest, most sincere magazine to have ever been created' and described by the British Journal of Photography as 'part intellectual queer pin-up mag and part sexy anthropology journal', you won't find pages filled with celebrity gossip or lifestyle tips, just beautiful, diverse and honest content to be proud of.
Available in a collectible print bookazine or in a downloadable e-format, there's currently 55 issues to explore.
Ekstra
Ekstra is a series of downloadable companion publications where you can enjoy hundreds of pages of bonus content not found in the main issues of Elska or NÆS. Think rough outtakes, extra-rude-and-nude cuts, behind-the-scenes tales and assorted anecdotes, Ekstra is a way to get a little bit more, perhaps even too much more!
Each issue of Ekstra available individually or they are included automatically as part of a deluxe annual subscription.
NÆS
Elska is proud to present a special edition zine series full of næs pics and næs boys called NÆS (it's pronounced ‘nice’).
Coming from the same universe as Elska, this limited edition project shares images and stories that don't quite fit within the ‘rules’ of Elska… i.e. that we can't shoot the same person twice, that we can't shoot in the same city twice, or that we can't publish something that's not actually about a city!
We're not sure exactly now many issues will be produced or where the concept will go. NÆS is all about following the whims of inspiration, so who knows? But two issues are available now in a collectible print zine or in a downloadable e-format.
Art Prints
Also available are a selection of giclée art prints chosen from some of our favourite images. Each is limited to ten copies only, available in two different sizes (A2 or A3) and printed on luxurious Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 g/m2 premium art paper, perfect for framing and showing off.
Annual Subscriptions
We also offer annual subscriptions so you can get Elska delivered to your door (or to your email inbox) eight times a year. As of 2026, we're offering 8 issues per year instead of the previous 6 issues per year, but all for the same price.
Subscriptions come in three variants: print, electronic, and super-deluxe (a special option for those who wish to be benefactors of Elska, including loads of special extras like an annual art print, personal postcards from around the world, and much more.)
