In 2009 he won the National Photographic Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery, Australia. In 2012 his show and book launch, CITIZEN, opened at the NPG. Kenne’s 4th book The Hedgehog and the Foxes was published in 2015 and he is currently finishing The Ball, due for release in 2018 by Journal, Sweden.
