    The only way to recover them would be if they were in your camera roll when you last backed up.  If you have already deleted them from your camera roll before backing up, there is no way to recover them.

     

    A long shot would be to check iTunes to see if there still might be an older backup there that was made while the photos were still in your camera roll.  You can check by opening iTunes and going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Mac) or Edit>Preferences>Devices (PC) and checking the backups list.

     

    In the future, always import them to your computer while they are still in your camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  Don't try to use iCloud to back up your photos.
