I am creating a new WordPress website for my photography business. I'm looking for the best way to allow clients to download images from a gallery.

All of the images in your gallery will be downloadable by default.  Your visitors can choose how they want to download it (usually with a right-click of the mouse), or you could provide a download option.  There are many different ways to do that, so it depends on your preference.  For example,

- You could provide a downloadable link under the gallery

- You could archive all of the images into a compressed .zip file that the user can download (also served by a link)

If you can decide on what the ideal action would be for your audience it will help you determine which download format works best.

Personally, I would suggest compressing the images into a .zip file and providing a link on your website.  You can upload the .zip archive to your WordPress media gallery directly and serve a link from there. This long form guide on creating a photography website may be a good resource for you.
