How to delete photos on iPhone but not MacBook

I use iCloud photo library for both my iPhone and MacBook. I am wanting to delete the photos off of my phone and just keep them on my laptop. Do I turn off iCloud photo library on y devices and download them manually or is there a way I can do that while still using iCloud photo library?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 12.0.1
