"I am so excited and proud to have reached fifty editions, and casting the spotlight on Ukraine is the perfect way to celebrate this achievement. The first edition of Elska was published in Lviv back in 2015, so it felt right to return and honour that connection with Odesa."
"While fear was a constant companion, my love for Ukraine and my determination to present its stories in this pivotal moment drove me forward."
This edition is an amalgamation of a gay photography book and a travel memoir, showcasing Odesa's men-ordinary locals captured in their homes and streets, often in their natural state.
The raw, unedited nature of these images exudes a refreshing authenticity, reinforcing the beauty found in everyday life. The accompanying text dives deeper, revealing heartfelt stories that underscore the significance of supporting queer life in Ukraine amidst current turmoil.
