Photos on iPhone
This might sound a simple question but I can't find an answer. When I take a photo or video on my iPhone is it stored on my iphone memory and/or in icloud? I use iCloud to store my photos. Thanks.
iPhone 6, iOS 9.0.1

I use iCloud to store my photos. Thanks.
Are yu storing the photos in iCloud Photo Library? Then the photos will be stored both on your iPhone and in iCloud, plus on any other device that is using iCloud Photo Library.
iCloud Photo Library is a central photo storage, that is keeping all your Photos Libraries on all devices up to date. It will sync all changes across all devices.
If you want to save space on one device, enable "Optimize storage" on that device. Then the device will only keep smaller, optimized versions of your photos and retrieve the full sized original from iCloud, when you need the photo. But all devices will store atlas the smaller sized optimized versions, so you can browse the photos and request the full-sized downloads.

Thank you. Yes I am using iCloud photo library. So if I have optimise storage enabled then a full size photo taken on my iPhone won't be stored on it and taking up memory?
Yes, the full size version will only be in iCloud and you only have a smaller version on the iPhone. This is dynamic. Photos will remove more and more full-size versions as you go and optimize more photos, when the storage is getting low. At first you will not see much difference, when you enable "Optimize Storage".
IN regards to smaller optimized versions versions of photos vs. large photos. Will I be able to see all of my photos but still be reducing my storage. My storage space right now is low and I don't want to purchase any more

Optimize will reduce the storage needed on your device - on your iPhone or your Mac, but you will need the full storage in iCloud.
