'''Alfredo F. Mayo''' is a Spanish born film [[cinematographer]] who has also been credited as '''Alfredo Fernández 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 Galíndez]]'' in 2003), but did not win it again.

1991 he filmed for [[Pedro Almodóvar]]'s ''[[Tacones lejanos]]'' (''High Heels''); the two worked together again on ''[[Kika (1993 film)|Kika]]'' (1993). At this time he also started to film for [[Marcelo Piñeyro]], for ''[[Caballos Salvajes]]''; Mayo went on to be the cinematographer with whom Piñeyro 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).

Further collaborations were with director [[Gerardo Herrero]], for whom Mayo filmed all ten films that Herrero made from 1994 until 2006, when Mayo made his last film as of October 2007. Mayo also worked with [[Fernando León de Aranoa]] on three occasions (''[[Barrio]]'' in 1998, ''[[Familia (1996 film)|Familia]]'' in 1996, and award-winning ''[[Mondays in the Sun|Los lunes al sol]]'' in 2002).

==Awards and nominations==
Apart from the Goya Award for Best Cinematography in ''Las Cartas de Alou'' (1991) and the two further Goya nominations, Mayo won three [[Argentine Film Critics Association Awards]] ("Silver Condors") for the Piñeyro films ''[[Cenizas del paraíso]]'' (1998), ''[[Plata quemada]]'' (2001) and ''[[Kamchatka]]'' (2003).

He received three CEC Awards from the ''Cinema Writers Circle Awards, Spain'', ''El Maestro de esgrima'' (1993), ''[[El Aliento del diablo]]'' (1994), and ''[[Cuando vuelvas a mi lado]]'' (2000). In 2003, he was again nominated for the award for ''Los Lunes al sol''.

In addition, he won an award for Best Cinematography each in ''Cuando vuelvas a mi lado'' 1999 at the [[San Sebastián International Film Festival]], and in ''Plata quemada'' 2001 at the [[Havana Film Festival]].
