Anybody "branded" a site with a paid/hired real person?

Hello,

One of the websites I have has content based on my own professional experience.

Site is not doing bad at all with adsense, and on the about me page, I actually created a fake persona because I didn't want my own personal details out in the web (obviously).

Funny thing is that other "professional" blogs have linked to me, but a couple of others have requested a pic of me as a requirement for them to post a guest article on their blogs, and I have delayed the offer as I don't want to put my pic out there.

I thought of using one of those stock photos, but that might not go well in the long run. Basically, all I need is a headshot.

I was thinking that perhaps others have branded their site with paid/hired people, and if so, where have you found these "personas"?
thanks!

    Why dont you just use yourself ?
    the only reason you wouldnt wanna do this is because you have something to hide ?
    there is much more value branding yourself on good information or products then it is to make up fake people.

      I don't and can't use myself because in real life, I work as a consultant in this niche and the information I'm providing to readers is based on experience I collected with different clients/companies in the USA/Europe and South America when I worked with them or as I continue to work with them.

      So assume my blog is about getting a modeling job in Paris with company XYZ or company ABC.

      Because I know what it takes to get a job in that company, my blog's content would have, tips to get the best modeling jobs in paris. It is not about company XYZ or ABC, but it is based on what I know working with them.

      If somebody from company XYZ or ABC read the blog, they would say, well yea, that's common sense advice, but not everybody follows it.

      However, if my pic and name were plastered on my site....wouldn't be good if I wanted to continue working in this niche.
