Photos showing as blank, grey squares on iPhone 6S

I received my iPhone 6S this week and followed all the guidance for upgrading from my old 5.

All seemed to go well and the new phone was up and running quickly. However, the majority of my photos that were on the iPhone 5 are not visible on the new 6S. 'All Photos' is indicating that here are 601 photos but I can only see 28, all taken in the last week. All the other photos are showing as blank, grey squares.

I have searched the web and can't find any solution to this problem.

Can anyone here provide any advice, please?

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.0.2

Here are a couple of screen shots showing what is visible in 'Collections' and 'All Photos':

If you store your photos in iCloud it may just be a matter of waiting for all of the photos to actually sync. I have a large iCloud Photo Library and had the same issue but it resolved itself after a couple of days.

I waited 4 days but no change. I have now given up and erased all the blank pictures. They were all copied on to my iMac so nothing is really lost.

Thank you for the advice though, tvdihedral.

I just recently received my iPhone 6S also and the guy at the carrier store transferred my photos and it used up all my storage and the pictures started becoming corrupt or something. Still haven't fixed it so if anyone could please help that'd be great because I'm not into the idea of restarting everything even if there is a backup.
