Iphone 'backup' issue

Hi.


So I got the new Iphone 13 Pro Max, I started using it straight away (taking photo etc). Later I got my old iphone and did the 'Back Up Now' through itunes. I luckily also did this with the new Iphone. I then did the 'Restore back up' using the data from the old Iphone and loading it into the new iphone. I thought it would add the pictures from the old iphone into my new library but it wiped all the pictures I had just taken with the new phone.


Is there a way to retrieve the recent pictures taken on the new Iphone without completely restoring the backup I had saved before I restored the data from the old phone? The 'back up' is saved to my laptops library. My not too bothered about anything else, just would like the pictures.


Would it be best to simply restore the saved 'back up' from the new iphone, then save the pictures to the laptop, then start again?


Kinda hard to explain but im sure some of you whizz kids can make sense of it.
