Where did my photos go?

I just backed up my iPad and iPhone onto my Mac. I was able to go onto Photos and see my pictures from my iPad, but after I backed up my iPhone my pictures from there are nowhere to be found. Help?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), Photos App

What kind of backup did you make?

Backing up the device to iTunes will not show the photos in Photos, only connecting the iPhone by USB and importing the photos or transferring them by Photo Stream or iCloud Photo Library will add them to your Photos Library.
