Troubleshooting Lost Photos:

Loss of data is something you would have agreed to upon opening an Apple Account. So, if the following does not work, then they are gone. That's just the way is is.

Four Tactics to Try:

A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos app - Apple Support

B. Check iCloud Directly:

See if they reside in iCloud Photos. Log in here: https://www.icloud.com/photos

C. Use a Time Machine Backup:

Did you backup your Mac, recently? If so, then restore your Mac from that. You'd backup you Mac prior to doing so, and then restore your data from the backup you just created, through use of Migration Assistant.

D. Where Else to Check:

• PC
• PDA
• eMail
• Mac Device
• Cloud Storage
• Android Phone
• USB Flash Drive
• External Hard drive
• Secure Digital Card
• Compact Flash Card

Unless they are still in the recently deleted folder, you cannot. Unless you made an independent copy of them somewhere else, they are gone. iCloud photo is not a backup. It is a synchronization service to keep all photos in your library the same across all your devices. Apple recommends you still make archival backups of photos you wish to preserve. If you did not do that, and deleted them and emptied recently deleted (or it’s been more than 30 days), they are gone.
