You do that by using a single Apple account and then set up iCloud to sync items between devices. You can also sync with a computer but it is a bit more seamless with iCloud. Disable iCloud for specific features you do not want to sync. So if you only want photos on one of your devices, turn off iCloud syncing of photos on the other device.


The advantage of doing this is convenience. Let's say you add a Contact on your iPhone. If you are syncing contacts via iCloud then when you look in the Contacts app on your iPad the new contact will appear there too.


Here's some reading. ;-)

"When you turn on iCloud for an app, its information is safely stored in iCloud and automatically kept in sync across your devices. When you turn it off, the app will no longer connect with iCloud, so your data will exist only on your device. You can choose which apps on your device you'd like to use iCloud, or turn off iCloud completely."

When you turn off an iCloud feature on a device, information stored only in iCloud for that feature is no longer available on the device. If you turn off Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Notes, Reminders, or iCloud Photos on just one device, you can still view and change your information on iCloud.com and on another device you set up for that feature.
