My Photos app on my Mac is completely empty.

Today I tried to open my Photos app and there are no photos.

It just displays "Welcome to Photos, get started". Does anyone know how I can get my photos back?

Thanks!

Have you recently moved your photo library or restored your hard drive?

Try navigating to the location when you have your library stored containing your photos and double click the library (make sure you have Photos app closed) and this should open Photos with the library containing your photos.
