I've transferred photos from my iPhone to Photos on my MacBook. Now I want to email them using Mail (provider is Gmail). I want them as attachments rather than embedded in the body of the email. How do I do this?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Compress The File:
Right click on the image(s) and select "Compress", then add the attachment using the paperclip.

If you are trying to email through the Photos.app >Share icon in the upper menu—this is not possible to compress there.
Drag them to your Desktop first, for multiple images put them in a folder if you want, then Control click to compress the folder.
This is the only way to guarantee they present, send, and show on the user end as a.zip attachment (ie not in-line)
I will add you have no control of the recipients end if they arrive in-line or as a true attachment—unless you compress— no matter what it looks like on your email client locally. This depends on the recipients email client and their service provider which you have no control.
zipping a single image or a folder is your only guarentee
