I don’t know why all my photos from 2017 to 2019 are gone but the videos remain

All of a sudden, it appears all my photos from about 11/18/2017 through about 09/10/2019 are GONE, but all the videos remain. I have iCloud backup and have since that time. At some point, I got Google photos as well which appears to have retained these photos. I would never mass delete pictures, and am now wondering what recourse I have.
