Keep the WhatsApp group. Put the photos somewhere better.
Nobody wants to leave their group chat, and you do not have to. The problem is only the photos: sent compressed by default, mixed with messages and hard to find a week later.
In a circle every photo sits in one album by date. In a chat it is somewhere above 400 messages.
Photos are kept in high resolution (up to 2560 px) without anyone having to remember an HD switch.
Photos are viewed online and downloaded only when someone wants them, instead of landing in every member's gallery.

Private or public: you always know who sees your photos
Every circle, every photo and every post button carries the same label. Green with a lock is private. Orange with a globe is public. Nothing becomes public unless you confirm it.

Questions
Do people need to leave WhatsApp?
No. fotos.red does not replace the conversation. It is the album next to it, and the invite link is easiest to share in the WhatsApp group itself.
Does everyone see who has seen the photos?
Each post shows “seen by”, so the person who posted can tell who has looked, much like read receipts.
Who can see my photos?
You decide for every photo. “Only me” keeps them in My photos. In a private circle only its members see them. In a public circle or on your public profile anyone can see them. Private is always marked green with a lock and public orange with a globe, and we ask you to confirm before anything becomes public.
Is it free? Do I need to install an app?
It is free, with 2 GB of space per person, and it works in the browser on phones and computers. There is nothing to install, though you can add it to your home screen like an app.
