Using Photos on an iPhone:

Yes. So, back up your Photos to iCloud, they would not be lost. If not backed up, then, yes, they would be lost. Go Here: Transfer Photos and Videos from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac or PC - Apple Support

Hi joudy163,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) community.


Apple support's online article describes what happens when you sign out of iCloud on your device.

(Seems you would lose everything on your iPhone that was synced to iCloud.)

How to: Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support


Syncing your photos to iCloud can be turned off / on

(Note: You may have only low-res versions stored on your iPhone and the full-res versions in iCloud).

Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos >

or

See how to: Manage your photo and video storage - Apple Support

and

How to: Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud - Apple Support


If needed: iCloud Support website : iCloud - Official Apple Support


All the best :-)
