A One-Way Ticket to Shanghai Becomes Home for a Canadian Photographer

Graeme Kennedy, a Canadian photographer who moved to Shanghai in 2014, left marketing to pursue photography and built a self-made business around food storytelling. He co-founded the SaintCavish YouTube documentary series with Christopher St. Cavish, which earned a James Beard Award nomination and drew millions of views. After a decade abroad, Kennedy now considers Shanghai home, supported by a creative community, while maintaining ties to Canada.
