How to shoot this aesthetic

"Precision as poetry white lines on blue describing what does not yet exist"

Shot list

Hands laying out a large-format blueprint on a drafting table, the scale of the drawing dwarfing the hands
Portrait of an architect or designer in profile against a technical drawing on a light table
Close detail of hand-drafted technical notation dimensions, hatching, annotation rendered as abstract mark-making

Lighting

Light table illumination from below as the key source; supplement with overhead cool-white fluorescent to simulate the drafting office environment; the blue cast of the blueprint needs neutral to slightly cool light to read correctly
