By default, iCloud Photos are on both iCloud and any devices where iCloud Photos is turned on. You can turn on the Optimize Storage option to potentially reduce the space required on a device. See Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support including the excerpt below:
If you turn on Optimize Storage, iCloud Photos automatically manages the size of your library on your device. Your original photos and videos are stored in iCloud and space-saving versions are kept on your device. Your library is optimized only when you need space, starting with the photos and videos you access least. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them. You can use Optimize Storage on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac.
If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photos keeps your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device.
