You cannot as that's not how iCloud works or was designed. iCloud serves as a syncing service that syncs all of your photos/videos across all devices. What you may be looking for as it relates to what you're asking is something like Dropbox or Google Photos.

My iPhone is saying I have storage issues but have 200GB iCloud. It won’t let me update without deleting something :(
