Plan
The first idea that sprung into mind when choosing to crate Man vs Machine content was to use a small digger and a model. The diggers scoop would be risen high and the model would be hanging off the scoop, dangling their legs. The driver of the digger would have an angry expression (gritting teeth, two hands on wheels and tensing his arms) this would show a humorous but aggressive side of the builder at the same time, making a more compelling image.
I could either produce the image as a whole and use both models at the same time, or I could create an image of the driver in the digger with the scoop heightened and a separate image of the model in mid air, I would then blend the model into the image of the digger. My preferred method would be to produce two separate images and mask out the model to be placed on the digger scoop, this would also be a more sensible method in terms of health and safety.
I would be using lighting to produce this image. The lighting equipment I would be using on this occasion would be 2 speedlites and one strobe to really help fill in the light where need be, so the natural light and shadows in the digger image will work with the artificial light.

Execution Plan
The way in which I will be producing this image is creating a photo of a digger with a builder in the cab operating the digger with an angry expression to create conflict between the two human subjects. I would have to create the image of the digger first to evaluate the natural lighting afterwards so I am able to influence this into my portrait to make the overall image as realistic as possible.
The next image of the model clinging onto a surface will be produced accordingly to the lighting situations in the digger image, the majority of the hard work of this image will be in post production due to the fact I will be cutting out the model and placing him in a position where it seems like he is hanging onto the scoop of the digger.

Image 2 (backup image)
My plan for image 2 is to create an image of someone being attacked by a hose, and to show this, with the hose spraying into the models stomach and creating a large indent. To create this image I will merging 3 images together, one of the hose without anyone holding it, one of the model creating an indent in their stomach and the third image will be off the model's body position when being sprayed by the hose.
