Where Truth Becomes Gold

**Every story is a transformation.

Every photograph is an act of honesty.

Every portrait is a moment of becoming.**

Scar& Gold is visual alchemy —

a space where raw experience turns into beauty,

and vulnerability becomes strength.

No decoration. No posing. No masks.

Only truth, light, and the quiet shift happening within a person

when they finally allow themselves to be seen.

I photograph inner movement.

I photograph becoming.**

To me, photography is a return to authenticity.

What scars us and what makes us golden are often the same thing —

I simply reveal it.

What I Create

Not about perfection — but breath, presence, and emotional resonance.

Weddings, ceremonies, rites of passage —

moments where a person steps out of the old and into the new.

Timeless works shaped by light, movement, and silence.

My name is Ivan Skufinsky.

I work with light, movement, and states of being.

Since 2008, I’ve been creating photographic stories of transformation —

documentary, artistic, and deeply personal.

Scar& Gold is my path toward honest visual art.

If you are drawn to honesty, quiet strength, and beauty born from experience —

you are in the right place.
