I had the same experience while working for a (very) small company called 
Northwest Digital Research. 
I was asked to point to a big HP plotter that was running one of our 
programs... and the photograph wound up in our product brochure. 
Of course, I had nothing to do with that program...

"Planning" may assume facts not in evidence :-) 

Some photographers wandered around my employer of the time, Recognition 
Equipment. (Like my Canadian girlfriend, you haven't heard of it.) 
I was near enough to a piece of machinery to be told "point to 
that console like you are doing something to it". So somewhere 
in some ancient Annual Report you can find a picture of a clean- 
shaven me. My 15 seconds of fame. 

Well maybe not all 15. 

So the "plan" was, we're on deadline, get some shots.
