I have set up a family sharing storage plan and i have icloud photos enabled. This means all the photo i take or store on my phone are automatically uploaded to my icloud drive. Can other family members who are on the same plan see my photos?
iCloud Photo Sharing is all Apple has to offer to share photos, but it has many draw backs. It is fine to show off the best photos in shared albums and to transfer them easily, but it it is horribly inadequate to share a joint Photos Library between family members.
When shared, photos taken with standard point-and-shoot cameras, SLR cameras, or iOS devices have up to 2048 pixels on the long edge. Panoramic photos can be up to 5400 pixels wide.
Shared albums cannot be used to transfer photos to a joint family photos library, unless we want to sacrifice image and video quality and metadata.
Even with shared iCloud Storage planes, the only supported way to share a Photos Library is still the sneaker drive: Sharing photo libraries among multiple users - Apple Support

No, you are sharing the storage, but not the iCloud Photo Library, if the family members are using different Apple IDs. You can use the family shared album to share selected photos between all family members.
Can other family members see my photo on iCloud if we have a Family Sharing Plan?
