my photos are missing

Hi A-i1,

For help with missing photos, test the steps below found in the article here: If you're missing photos or videos in the Photos app

"On your Mac

1. Open Photos and in the menu bar, click View, then select Show Hidden Photo Album.
2. In the sidebar, select Hidden.
3. In macOS Ventura or later, use Touch ID or your login password to unlock your Hidden album.
4. Select the photo or video that you want to unhide.
5. Control-click the photo, then choose Unhide Photo. You can also choose Image > Unhide Photo from the menu bar, or press Command-L."

If the issue continues, check the "Restore recently deleted items" section from the article here: Delete photos or recover deleted ones in Photos on Mac

Cheers.
