My grandmother, she doesn’t even know her own birthday. She tells me back then people never recorded birthdays lest somebody use it for black magic. She has lived in Melbourne for thirty-odd years. She doesn’t speak English. Her house is always so cold I tell her to turn on the heater. She collects many things, or rather she doesn’t throw out old stuff. I didn’t meet her until I was 5 years old. I remember walking up to her, a round big lady. She gave me a red pocket. I didn’t see her again for another few years. My mother and grandmother were estranged. Who is my grandmother? |

 De Sheng comes from a cinematography and film background
(Foundations Certificate inFilm& Television.Victorian College of the Arts).
Before that he was studying business management at RMIT.
The decision to take up photography was by chance: he enrolled into a local photography college midway through 2005 (Advanced Diploma in Photography.
Photography Studies College). He has since left the course to focus on more personal work. I have had my work exhibited a number of times receiving a silver medal in Traditional Portraiture at the AIPP Australian Professional Photography Awards 2007.
