Just remember, that folders can only hold subfolders or albums, but not photos or videos. To organize your media items in Photos, add your photos and videos to an album, not a folder. Then organize your albums by grouping related albums by folders and subfolders. You cannot create subfolders in albums either. The albums with the photos are at the bottom of the folder hierarchy, contained by folders. Marks screenshot is showing nicely the nesting hierarchy, with the albums as the leaves at the bottom of the tree.
