This week heralds the arrival of Elska’s fifty-first issue, a vivid exploration dedicated to the vibrant gay heartbeat of Buenos Aires, Argentina’s iconic capital. With a fresh narrative style that combines personal storytelling with striking photography, this edition invites readers to join the Elska team on an exhilarating nine-day journey through the city’s alluring streets.
“I’ve long yearned to explore Buenos Aires,” shares Liam Campbell, the visionary editor, writer, and chief photographer behind Elska. “Yet, I kept delaying my visit—perhaps the distance and flight costs were deterrents, alongside some swirling political unrest. However, during a recent poll with our subscribers, the call for a Buenos Aires edition was clear: the city topped their list. My reasons to postpone vanished, and I seized the opportunity to dive in.”
Liam’s affection for the city is quickly palpable. “It’s easy to see why so many selected Buenos Aires. It ranks among my top ten cities globally, but the true treasures are its people—an assembly of gorgeous, laid-back, and deeply inviting men. Their warmth became a resonant theme throughout this issue. I found myself grappling with my British tendencies to reciprocate their hospitality adequately. It’s true what they say about Latin men—they possess an irresistible fire!”
Elska Buenos Aires elegantly melds male portraiture with travel writing, showcasing approximately twelve Porteño men caught in candid moments across the city. These evocative images, often embracing nudity, celebrate authentic and diverse beauty, recorded with an unvarnished aesthetic. The narrative weaves closely with Liam’s detailed diaries, offering readers a more profound connection to these individuals and their enchanting city.
Available in a collectable print format and as a downloadable e-version, Elska Buenos Aires brings the essence of the city to life. To enhance this experience, the companion e-zine, Elska Buenos Aires, expands on the encounters with two additional men, enriched by hundreds of outtakes from the shoot. These treasures can be ordered online or found at select shops worldwide. For a complete list of stockists and subscription services, visit Elska’s website: www.elskamagazine.com.
