If photo library was set up in iCloud Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support 

And if photos were deleted  Delete photos on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support , those photos will never be recovered using a single iPhone in which it was never synced with Mac and photos were archived in Mac .

Troubleshooting Lost Photos:

If they are backed up, then you may be able to recover them.


Three Tactics to Try:


A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos app - Apple Support


B. Check iCloud, Directly:

For Photos, go here, and see if they reside in iCloud: https://www.icloud.com/photos

  • Mac Device
  • Cloud Storage
