EY! is a biannual magazine created by Luis Venegas — the Madrid-based editor and publisher behind a constellation of distinctive independent titles including Fanzine137, The Printed Dog, and Athletic. Launched as a companion to his broader publishing project, EY! is devoted to celebrating masculinity and male beauty through photography, fashion, and art with a sensibility that is sensual, playful, and entirely unconcerned with conventional boundaries.
Each issue features fashion editorials, artist portfolios, and visual essays that explore the male form and male identity with a freedom that most mainstream men’s magazines would never attempt. The photography is exceptional — bold, intimate, and frequently provocative — and the editorial voice carries the confidence of someone who has been publishing independently for decades and knows exactly what he wants to say.
Venegas’s publishing output is remarkably consistent in quality but delightfully varied in subject matter, and EY! represents perhaps his most personal and visually ambitious project. The magazine sits at the intersection of fashion, fine art, and queer culture, treating male beauty as a subject worthy of the same aesthetic attention that female beauty has received for centuries.
For readers who appreciate photography-driven publishing at its most ambitious and uncompromising — and who want a magazine that celebrates masculinity in all its diversity — EY! is a singular achievement in independent publishing.
