Custom post type not showing all posts

I have an image gallery set up through custom post type. It will only show 10 images at a time even if you enter more. Would this be an error through php or more original html?

What does your query look like? Do you have a set 'posts_per_page'. To show all posts you should use 'posts_per_page'=>-1 as the parameter in your query.

This is what I have

            <?php 
                $args = array(
                    'post_type' => 'photos'
                );
                $the_query = new WP_Query( $args )
            ?>

            <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post() ; ?>
            ``` 


Do I add the 'post_per_page' in the first query?
