After moving to the United States in 1972[1], he spent two years working as a photo assistant in New York City and subsequently established his own studio, specializing in still life photography[1].

Since 1979, in addition to his well established commercial work, Kenro began his serious professional commitment to his fine art photography, traveling the world to capture the sacred ancient stone monuments in their natural settings.

He has also focused on Buddhism and Hindu monuments in South East Asia: Cambodia, Burma, Indonesia, Vietnam and India.

[3] Kenro was honored at NYHQ's "A Spring Night Gala" for his leadership and humanitarian efforts to heal, nurture, and protect innocent life in Cambodia.

The award has been called the "Nobel Prize for Child Advocates", and is the only global recognition honoring individuals for serving vulnerable children worldwide.
