Alfredo F. Mayo
Alfredo F. Mayo is a Spanish born film cinematographer who has also been credited as Alfredo Fernandez Mayo and Alfredo Mayo.
Early in his career, Mayo worked with many different directors, on less well-known films. In 1991 he won the renowned Goya Award for Best Cinematography in Las cartas de Alou (released 1990). He would be nominated twice more for the Goya (El Maestro de esgrima in 1992 and El Misterio Galindez in 2003), but did not win it again.
1991 he filmed for Pedro Almodovar's Tacones lejanos (High Heels); the two worked together again on Kika (1993). At this time he also started to film for Marcelo Pineyro, for Caballos Salvajes; Mayo went on to be the cinematographer with whom Pineyro worked in all films that he directed alone (i.e. except Historias de Argentina en vivo), including the critically well-received Plata quemada (2000) and Kamchatka (2002).
