For the past nine years, Elska Magazine has been gracing the world with some of the sexiest, most captivating travel portraits of men from across the globe, making it a beloved treasure in the gay community. Elska isn’t just a magazine—it’s a sensual journey, a celebration of diversity, and an invitation to meet the most gorgeous men from places you might never have thought to explore.
Elska’s pages have introduced us to heartthrobs from Mumbai, mesmerizing men from Yokohama, hunks from Munich, and irresistible studs from San Francisco. The magazine’s mission is clear: to showcase the raw, authentic beauty of LGBTQ+ men from underrated cities around the world, all through a sexy and intimate lens.
The essence of Elska is beautifully captured in the words of its editor and chief photographer, Liam Campbell: “I love to travel, I love photography, and I love men!” This passion is evident in every issue, where Liam combines his loves into a publication that honors the men he meets on his travels, one sexy city at a time.
Elska stands out as a refreshing alternative to the often superficial world of fashion photography. “When I saw firsthand how disgustingly models are treated and how nasty the industry is in general, I wanted to create something that would treat people with respect and dignity,” Liam shares. The result? A publication that is not just about stunning visuals but also about real connections and shared stories, capturing the true beauty of the men photographed.
To mark this nearly decade-long celebration of sexy travel content, we’re revisiting some of the most gorgeous gays who have graced Elska’s pages. From intimate moments to bold portraits, these images are a testament to the magazine’s commitment to showcasing the diversity and beauty of LGBTQ+ men worldwide.
