'The Odyssey' by Brendan Zhang is a short photo shoot that updates the classic 50s housewife aesthetic. A translucent beaded necklace takes the place of a pearl necklace, while smart lacy gloves supplant kid gloves; the model wears a simple white shift dress in place of the polyester or wool suit her retro counterpart might have worn.
The shoot itself takes place in the middle of a glass-and-steel orb-like structure, a most futuristic setting. See more images from 'The Odyssey' by Brendan Zhang above.
