My photos suddenly got disappeared with black layout. How to recover the original photo?

My photos suddenly got disappeared with black layout. It happened due to lack of storage on my iPhone. Once I started taking photos with vivid warm mode on, the photos were clicked and saved. But after some time I see them getting converted to black layout. How to recover the original photo?

iPhone XR, iOS 15
