Is this possible to backup photos on my iPhone from my old backups on mac?

Recently I had to erase my iPhone because it wasn't able to start. Before that, I got a message about the lack of space on it. But on my Mac, I have a few previous backups from older phone (also mine associated with the same apple id). Is this possible to restore photos?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 15

You can restore from an previous backup as long as you are not going backwards in the iOS....


not selectively ie photos only.

In order to save drive space recent iOS backs are over-written, unless you manually alter the name or from Manage Backups Control click and “Archive” the backup.
