In 1991, he worked as director of photography on Pedro Almodóvar's “Tacones lejanos” and, later, on “Kika” (1993). At this time he also began shooting for Marcelo Piñeyro, on “Caballos salvajes”; Mayo became the cinematographer with whom Piñeyro worked on all the films he directed himself (except “Historias de Argentina en vivo”), including the critically acclaimed “Plata quemada” (2000) and “Kamchatka” (2002).

He later collaborated with director Gerardo Herrero, for whom he was director of photography on ten films between 1994 and 2006. Mayo has also worked with Fernando León de Aranoa on three occasions (“Barrio” in 1998, “Familia” in 1996, and the award-winning “Los lunes al sol” in 2002).
