Hi, It seems to me that you actually do want the publisher. Sharing pictures with your family is pretty much the use case for it. And it does not have to be galleries, you can publish them one by one separately. But it requires a bit of setup in the config, yes. Otherwise, the easiest way by far to share one particular file/picture, is to use the web UI feature for it (which behind the scenes uses share claims, which are a completely different mechanism from the publisher). Just tick the permanode of the file you want to share, and the contextual menu should appear on the right. Then click on the "share" action, and a popup for the URL of the (assembled) shared item should appear. Anyone with that URL can now access the file in question.
