About Elska Munich (Germany) volume 1:

Welcome to volume one of our forty-seventh issue, made in Munich. This marks our second time in Germany, and our second time releasing two separate volumes for one city — we simply couldn't fit everything into one mag, so we had to give you two, and this is part one in that set.

Inside this volume you'll get to know eight ordinary local Munich men. We shot them in their city's streets and in their homes, letting you get to know them through our honest and intimate style of photography. Then, you'll get even closer with the addition personal stories, written by each of the men on any topic of their choosing.

Some of the stories you'll read here include: Christoph H's tale of rediscovering football, joining a queer team, and embarking on a new era of his life through sport and camaraderie; Luis A G P's look back at a hard childhood and the realisation that he doesn't need to forgive those who hurt him; Lukas G's reflection on why he decided to do this photoshoot for us; and Jan G's discovery of ballroom and rugby and how these discoveries helped him discover himself.

‘Elska Munich volume one’ features eight chapters dedicated to the following local participants: Lukas G, Dario P, Luis A G P, Christoph H, Oleg G, Jan G, Steini S, and Filip S.

We also recommend ordering the companion zine ‘Elska Ekstra Munich’, available separately, to get more exclusive content. This includes outtakes and behind the scenes tales regarding some of our favourite Munich lads. Also featured are three more subjects for whom there wasn't room in the main mag, namely Arnau R, Eden H, and Charlie/Sakura.
