Hello DeeLD! Have a look at this previous forum thread which I think will answer your question!

The important point is NOT to have iCloud Photo Library enabled, as it syncs your photos between your iPhone and Mac! With iCloud Photo Library disabled any photos imported to your Mac will not be affected if you delete them on your iPhone. Hope this helps you! Regards, Ian.
