Photos downloading from Mac to iPhone/iPad

How do I stop the photos I download to my MAC, from a DSLR camera, going onto my iphone? How do I stop my iPhone photos from being loaded onto my MAC? The same Apple ID is being used for both devices.

Thanks

If you don't want your Mac and your iPhone to share photos and videos with each other at all, disable both iCloud Photos and My Photo Stream on both devices. (Just disabling both on one device would do, if you want the other device to share with some third device such as an iPad.)
