The size listed on the App Store is for the actual IPA, which is nothing but a zip file, the contents of which are compressed. The install size can be double or even more, depending on the app and its contents.
This isn't referring to storage on iCloud but on your device itself.
Go to
Settings > General > UsageUnder Storage (which is above iCloud) you will get a list of all the apps by size. If there is one you don't use you can delete it to get space to take a picture. If you don't see a list of apps, your phone is probably processing through and you will see a spinning indicator until it finishes:

I had this problem on an iPhone and I found that all the pictures I deleted went to a trash bin (Recently Deleted). Until that is emptied, the storage will not free up.
