Q: how to recover deleted photos from iphone

I foolishly deleted many many photos from my iPhone 6 because Apple told me I was out of space to take more photos. I mistakenly thought they would remain in photos on my Mac - el capitan 10.11.2. I would like to retrieve the photos, but not run out of space on my phone to take more shots. I have backup on time machine, which was run while in Yosemite. I am now using el Capitan

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.2), iPhone 6

    Are you using iCLoud Photos Library - using it with optimized photos on yuour IOS device is the easiest way going forward

     

    As to recovering the ones you deleted - you do not give enough info - are they in the recently deleted album? DO you regularly backup up your phone to iCloud? TimeMachine has nothing to do with your phone only with your Mac so unless you had the photos on your Mac there will not be in TM
