How can I transfer photos from my broken iphone 4 to my laptop?

A few days ago, my phone dropped on the ground really hard resulting the screen to shatter and shut off. While plugging it into my laptop it suddenly turned on again and there was light through the cracks. It can turn it on and off as I click the power button but the screen was still blacked out with bits of light seeping out the cracks of my broken phone. I want to be able to retrieve my photos somehow because they're really important memories of mines, is there a way I can get my photos out of my phone to my laptop?
