Hello thedukes1010,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you would like to know how to use iCloud on multiple devices that share the same Apple ID without sharing photos. I would be happy to help provide more information.
For photos specifically, you'll want to check your settings for iCloud Photos on each device. With iCloud Photos enabled, it will upload the photos from that device to iCloud, then sync the photos across any other devices that is signed in with the same Apple ID that has iCloud Photos turned on:
- Access and view iCloud Photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
- Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
If the devices are used by different people, it's a good idea to create an Apple ID for each person to avoid issues with sharing data. Check out the "Avoid sharing an Apple ID" section in the resource below for more information:
Use your own Apple ID for Family Sharing - Apple Support
Cheers!
