Deleting photos from only one Apple device

I need to free up storage on my MacBook Air. I want to delete all the photos on my hard drive but keep them accessible in iPhotos on my phone. Is there a way to do this?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

If you are using iCloud Photos, turn off iCloud photos on your Mac and delete the pictures on your Mac
