Cut and paste. Use the My Files app. Go to the photos you want to transfer, select them, select move or cut, then navigate to where you want to put them and select paste or move here. Exactly like on Windows.

Welcome to Android Central! What chanchan05 suggests works for discrete files, like photos, documents, etc. Moving apps to SD is something you can do from the App Manager after selecting a given app. But when you move an app to SD, only a portion of the app gets moved. Not all apps support this feature, either.

For your pictures, videos, documents, music: use a file browser app to COPY the files to the SD card. After you are sure all the files correctly made the move, then you can go back and delete the files from the internal storage.

For the apps: you don't move them. They stay on the internal storage. Yes, sometimes you can move small PARTS of them to the SD card, but it is not worth the effort and causes more problems than you think it solves in many cases.
