I do agree with you, I have a few photos I'm proud of but I won't hang them in my home because they are portraits of people who are not part of my family. Doing otherwise would be kind of awkward... So I hang them in my workplace where the photos were taken in the yard.

On the other hand, if I was to become a real photographer I wouldn't mind making a book or a zine 'cause they wouldn't be in my home hanging on the wall for all the people to see them and think that they are from my family.

For if these yet-to-be portraits are in a book on my shelf nobody should be confused, I already own a bunch of portrait books and I will really be happy to buy yours as soon as yours plans on making it become a reality.
