I want to sell digital downloads (photos and videos) through the cloud

I am a photographer and videographer and I want to sell my digital files online through my cloud.

I want to send links of cloud folders to my clients but instead of just downloading the files I want them to pay me for any file they choose to download.

Let's say...
I am sending to one client a cloud folder with 200 photos.
I am setting the price of 50usd for each photo.
My client reviews the photos and he chooses 10.
He pays me 500usd and he gets the 10 files (on his e-mail or direct download)

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I am going to make this work? I am not a programmer but i am a quick learner.

What I have tried:

I tried looking for solutions in e-commerce software but I didn't find anything.

I have seen software like this before so I would suggest googling for software. Or, do you know of another photographer doing the same thing? You might ask them who built it for them or on their site at the bottom it may say something like "Powered By x."

I appreciate that you are a quick learner but this is not something that can be learned quickly. It takes a lot of code to do it.

The other option is to go hire a developer to do this project for you. But I'd bet you can find a packaged deal easier.

I hired a developer and we are looking for a solution. Any suggestions on how to start? Any ideas that may help us?
We are thinking that each folder has to have files of the same price we think that will be easier to make. Any comment will help because we are in the begining stages now.

You need to come up with the features of how it will work. Then let the developer build it. But the most important first step is to have a good idea of what you want.
