Aus Taiwan stammend entspricht das Fotomodell Denis Cheng nicht dem weit verbreiteten Klischee, der schönen, aber inhaltsleeren Frau. Sie lernte frühzeitig Klavierspielen und ihre Eltern achteten sorgfältig auf eine hochwertige Ausbildung, die sie unter anderem in einer katholischen Schule erhielt. Das dies ihrer phantastischen Ausstrahlung nicht hinderlich war, sondern diese eher förderte, beweisen die acht hier ausgestellten Porträts auf vorzügliche Weise.

I was born in Taiwan in the city of
Kaohsiung. Because there was only my older brother and I, my parents
always made sure our needs were met. My parents always gave me the best
they could give in the way of education, piano and art lessons. I was
blessed with so much love and care. When I was seven years old I began
piano lessons and still continue to play the piano. By age twelve, my
mother sent me away to an all-girls private Catholic school. It was much
disciplined; full of regulations and rules that I had to follow and the
curriculum was very demanding. I have always been a very feminine person
from the time I was very young. I always loved to play house and play dress up with my dolls. I was also sheltered and protected by my parents. I moved to the United States with my parents when I was in the ninth grade. In the beginning, I experienced culture shock to me and had a difficult time speaking and understanding the English language. But, I was very fortunate to meet some great friends who helped me with the language and culture. During my high school years, my family had to move a lot because of my father 's job. We lived in Arizona, California and Florida. Every time I made some friends, I had to leave again to move to another state and begin again to make new friends. We eventually ended up in California. In high school I took some acting classes that I enjoyed so much that I decided to major in theater arts when I went to college. Though my mother wants me to be in a business and to have a stable life, I am very much a dreamer. I figure if I don't ever try to achieve my dreams I will regret it later in life. I don't want to be an old lady sitting on my rocking chair and wonder "what if?" I began to get jobs in the modeling industry. Eventually, I graduated from Cal State University of Long Beach with a BA in theater arts. Today I continue to follow and enjoy achieving my dream. |
