Three directions for the homepage hero, each as a wide crop (with a demo of how the site's headline sits over it) plus a mobile crop. All free, generated in-house. Graphite + steel-blue + safety-amber, documentary-real — not stock. Every option here is anonymous-safe: no single identifiable face that a customer (or Eton) would read as "who's that random guy?" — it's hands, a crew, or the shop itself.
Tight on a Black mechanic's skilled, greased hands on a chrome wrench in the engine bay — grease, texture, focus. The "we know what we're doing" angle. Cinematic but honest; strongest amber accent of the set. No face at all — no "is that the owner?" problem.

Two or three mechanics working together in the bay — a car on the lift, tools, candid mid-job. Reads as the team at work, not one specific man, so nobody wonders who the "hero" is. Faces are incidental, caught mid-work — not a posed portrait.

The shop environment itself — car up on the two-post lift, organized tool wall, red tool chest, steel-blue walls, amber work-lamp glow. Any person is present only as an anonymous element (from behind, at a distance, a silhouette). Environment-forward: "an active, real shop" — zero "is that the owner?" question.
