Photo’s taking up too much storage

iPhone 14, iOS 17
Are you taking "live photos?" When you swipe between photos, you'll see a minute amount of motion. If you press and hold a photo, it'll show about 2 seconds of motion - one second recorded before and one second after the photo was taken. That should be turned off for most photos because you'll almost never use it, and the videos will be what's taking up all your space.
You can plug into a computer and allow access, then look at the folders. Sort by file type and delete the videos you don't need. That will dramatically decrease your storage use.
Just be sure to note the full size videos you do want to keep before removing all of a type though. For that, you can click on a video in your phone, click the "i" at the bottom, and note the file name. It'll be listed in light text under the date it was taken.
