You may be able to reduce the space needed on your Mac by using the Optimize Storage option of iCloud Photos.

Another method to consider would be to move the photos to an external drive: Move your Photos library to save space on your Mac - Apple Support

iCloud Photos is a syncing service. Any photo you delete from a device where iCloud Photos is turned on will also be deleted from iCloud and from any other device connected to iCloud Photos. You can potentially reduce the storage space required on a device by turning on Optimize Storage. See: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

Apple does not currently offer cloud-only storage for photos. If that is what you want or need, you may want to explore 3rd party options such as Google Photos or Dropbox.
