Seva Galkin is a filmmaker and photographer, and according to The Advocate: “is interested in the issues of identity, sexuality and masculinity in post-independence Russia”.

His latest project is a 2021 calendar which focuses on the above through the naked, muscular physiques of his subjects… hard job but someone’s gotta do it.

He’s also a known director, primarily for his most recent film The Fans (2020) which explores the crisis of masculinity caused by ‘Russian Section 28,’ banning positive representations of LGBTQ+ people among minors.

The film was nominated at the Oslo Film Festival 2020 for best cinematography. (Congrats!)
