Hi,

If you have the iCloud Photo Library enabled, then photos deleted or added to 
the phone, will be deleted or added to all other devices which have iCloud 
Photo Library enabled with the same Apple ID.  If iCloud Photo Library is not 
enabled on your iPhone, then deleting the photo from the iPhone will not affect 
the photo libraries on other devices.  As mentioned, you can enabled the 
Optimize Photo Library on the iPhone, and the iOS will store lower resolution 
versions of the photos on the iPhone, thus using much less space.  For example, 
I have over 45,000 photos in my iCloud Photo Library, which uses up about 175 
GB of space on iCloud, and obviously my iPhone cannot hold 175 GB, but with the 
Optimize Photo Library enabled on my iPhone, I have access to my entire library 
and it only uses up less than 10 GB of space on the iPhone.

HTH.

Later...
