Hello,
You'll need to free up some storage. See this:
How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Note: deleted photos are not necessarily deleted from the phone. You may have to go to Photos > Albums > Recently Deleted and delete them from there to truly free up storage.
Then restart your phone.

Good luck.
You may uninstall some of the apps, so that you can get space. Then reinstall them.
please be cautious to take backup of your current contents before uninstalling.
Apps like Mail and email client application would occupy so much of space. Just delete them and reconfigure, you will get plenty of space.
you also can transfer all your photo files to portable devices (USB stick) and then delete them from phone memory.
Hope these steps help you.
