Yes you can do that but the photos will take up minimal storage if you use the Optimize iPhone Storage feature. The way this works is you open Settings ➔ Photos ➔ Optimize iPhone Storage : Set this to ON.
Once you do that then all your photos will be stored in high resolution on iCloud and low resolution on your iPhone. This will save a lot of space on your iPhone. When you retrieve or view your photo(s) on your iPhone then it will be converted to high resolution.
