Storage full issues on MacBook Pro

I’ve run out of storage due to my photos. Once I back up to iCloud, is there a way to remove the files from my laptop so that it will operate properly?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Try something like OmniDiskSweeper for a GUI to get a good look at itemized file size and location:
