What computer?
Your iPhone saves the photos from the iPhone in iCloud. My Mac shows my iPhone photos in Photos automatically. My Win10 laptop has an app, iCloud for Windows, which allows me to access the iPhone photos and download them.
On the Mac, the photos seen in Photos are stored in an obfuscated folder. If you right-click on a photo you can 'edit with' some editing software of your choice, after which you can store it where you want it.

If your computer is an Apple it is no problem, just open the Photos app. If your computer is not an Apple, I’m sure there is a way, but I don’t know it.
My iphone photos magically show up on my icloud folder on my win 10 PC (C:\Users\user\OneDrive\Pictures\iCloud Photos\Downloads). You can search the internet on how to set up an iCloud folder on your PC. You'll also want to download itunes on your PC so you can back up your iphone directly. Another option is to use a lightening to USB female cable to your iphone and copy the photos you want to a USB thumb drive, then plug the thumb drive into your PC's USB port. The thumb drive must be formatted using exfat file format.
If you are asking how to get a photo from phone to computer easily, If it is an Apple Computer , you can "Air Drop" them wirelessly via Bluetooth, or you can email it to yourself, or attach your phone to your computer and IMPORT to any basic photo app

If you have setup your iCloud account properly, all photos taken with an iPhone will automatically be saved to your iCloud Photos app. From there, you can do whatever you want. You can download back to your computers Photo app (assuming you are using a Mac), edit with your software of choice, post directly to FB or other social media sites, etc. Apple’s ecosystem makes this a seamless process. Windows likely has a similar scenario, but I am not a Windows user.
For Lightroom attach charging USB to computer. They show up in import
I just plug it to the computer.

If it's just one or a few iPhone photos you can simply email them to your own address and it they will appear in your computer's in-basket. From there, just click on "share" and have them placed in your Photos database or just save them to a location of your choice on your computer.
You can also just plug your phone into the computer's USB connection and if Photos is booted up, your phone will appear on the left hand column as another drive.
Your iPhone photos will automatically be shared with your computer only if both your iPhone and computer are synced with the iCloud. I don't do this because I have only 5GB of Apple's free iCloud storage and unless I constantly clean them out, I'd use up all my storage and have to purchase more (which is what Apple wants).

Export from Photos, either to the folder you choose, or to the Desktop.
Post to UHH in the usual manner.
Photos is a bear trap. It does its best to hide your files in a CONTAINER folder with scrambled file names.
You can select 'X' number of images in Photos and File > Export > Export Unmodified Originals for 'X' Photos.
I use Apple Image Capture to download images from my iPhone to folders on my Mac, rather than importing them to Photos.
There is a way to set MacOS to NOT download images from connected devices automatically, and I have that set so my camera files never go to Photos. I want them in a manually built file structure I developed for myself 25 years ago. HOWEVER, all my iPhone photos go to iCloud, and then to the Photos Library on my Mac. I manage all iPhone photos with Photos, unless they need attention in Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. I manage all camera photos with Lightroom Classic as the hub of that workflow.
I have my iPhone sync to my laptop, and iPad. When I take a photo it automatically syncs with with all products with my Apple ID. If you delete from one it deletes from all plus iCloud. If you delete and reliaze you still need the photo you can retrieve from iCloud up to 30 days after deletion. I go through my photos occasionally and delete duplicates and any that I no longer such as flight registrations, aircraft part numbers, receipts for my HSA etc.
