Interview with renowned photographer Spike Mafford

Born in México, photographer Spike Mafford was educated in California and eventually relocated to Seattle.

Throughout the journey, Spike has sought the ideal image, which he describes “hunting the perfect moment, which is invariably a fleeting one. I love the sense of the elusive 'now' that one tries to capture.” This journey has not only carried him from one end of the North American continent to another; but has enabled him to marry the disparate worlds of sun-bleached México and rainy Seattle in a way only he could.
Whether capturing a stark leafless tree through a stucco porthole and the confetti-laden sugared skulls of Día de los Muertos celebration or the opulence of Seattle’s courthouse terrazzo floor, Spike’s images are infused with a stark elegance.
He talks to Darek Mazzone about his process and inspiration
