elska magazine #36.1 - MONTRÉAL québec

Welcome to part one of our first ever two-volume issue, made in Montréal, Québec. This is perhaps the most fun and exciting city in Canada, a double-language town that deserves nothing less than a double-size Elska.

We met, photographed and gathered stories from around twenty guys here, and the results reveal some of the most open, carefree, and thoughtful men we've met anywhere. Highlights include Max G's tale of falling in love over a plate of poutine and a car-radio ‘symphony’; Erik B & Thibaut T's back-and-forth about finding love when you're not necessarily searching for it; Lane B's ode to the old-school centrefold; and Benoit A's masterfully transportative tale of realising his crush with a stage actor.

Beyond the stories, the photography reveals honest and candid images of the men in their city's streets and in their own homes. Here you'll find a lot of maple leaves, a bunch of dépanneurs, a fair few poutineries, ruelle verte after ruelle verte, and also an insane amount of nudity. Just some of the reasons why this Elska series is vraiment exceptionnel!

‘Elska Montréal vol.1’ features chapters dedicated the following local participants: Max G, Jeremy S, Ricky G, Vincent L, Erik B + Thibaut T, Kaelen S, Lane B, and Benoit A
