If you were using iCloud Photos, you can download the photos onto a computer. Take a look at this.

If you were backing your photos up with iCloud, rather than using iCloud photos, the only way to recover the photos would be to restore the backup to another iOS device.


Perhaps, this would be helpful for the loss of the phone.
