What's path[elem] in line 12 of your pastebin?

[ciromanfredi]

The path[elem] is a local path (string) of file that exists on local disk. example: C:/user/bibo/Desktop/photo1.png

[Bibo-Joshi]

Then you need to read the contants from that file, i.e.

with open(path[elem], 'rb') as file:
    media.append(InputMediaPhoto(media=file.read())

Passing file paths only works when you're running your own bot api server in local mode.
