Official title: “Restless Relentlessly”
Alternate title: “I got stuck in southwest Iceland because of a winter storm so I decided to take a holiday consisting of soaking in geothermal swimming pools, relaxing in cosy cafés and bingeing on a podcast about vikings, but then I just couldn’t resist trying to meet a few Icelandic guys and doing a naked photoshoot with them, so I did that as well.”
This issue focuses on three beautiful Icelandic men: Haukur G (Seltjarnarnes and Reykjavík) Sveinn S (Hafnarfjörður) and Guðjón B (Vatnsleysuströnd). With Haukur, Liam tried to recreate the magic of a photoshoot they did ten years earlier, only to be confronted with atrocious weather and a struggle to make Haukur feel as gorgeous as the man Liam saw before his lens. With Sveinn, Liam drank a lot of coffee and got intimidated by oodles of intelligence, artistic talent and the kindness exemplified by a love for cats. And with Guðjón, Liam melted as he gradually saw this specimen of physical strength and masculinity dissolve into a soft, gentle and tender spirit. And all three men caused Liam to drift into Viking-era fantasies that exposed a cold loneliness which he allowed these men to quell.
