Sharing photos on a mac

Hi everyone, i have a question I’m hoping someone might be able to help me with?
I am trying to email someone a photo from the native photos on my mac using the share button in the toolbar, however, when i press go space or just space by itself to activate it won’t respond—as far as i can tell. I am new to using a MacBook, so don’t know if this is a bug or if there’s another command I’m missing somewhere?
I would be most grateful to anyone who could help, as this is quite an important photo document I’m trying to send and i don’t have sighted assistance.
Many thanks

For some reason, the Share button in the toolbar doesn't work for me either, however I was able to email a photo by focusing on it in the "All photos" section and choosing File > Share > Mail.

One thing to try, if you can access the photos on your phone, email it that way. If you are signed into iCloud, then you should be good to go. If you do not have email on your phone, then share the photo to an iCloud Drive folder. Then you can access it on your mac, and simply paste it into an email. Do a command C on the photo to copy and then in the email Command V to paste. This by the way is the easiest method of sending an attachment on the Mac.
