Did you have Photo Stream activated on your phone before it stopped working? This is the only way your phone could have saved to photos to iCloud, besides including them inside a backup.

If the phone is still recognized by iTunes on your computer, you could transfer the photos:

Hi Ingo2711, Thanks a million for your reply. That's probably what it is. Now next thing, my iphone will not switch on at all. No water damage or physical damage. I brought to an irepair place and he was first able to see the photos on my phone somehow but when I brought it back to get fixed he couldn't. I have been told by a few people that it may just be the charge port or battery or unfortunately the logic/motherboard. What is my best bet? I'm not able to afford to get it officially fixed if it can be. Any recommendations? By the way, thanks a million.
