If you permanently deleted the photos, they are gone. iCloud syncs your photos across devices, it does not back them up. If you have backups of your device made to your computer, you can restore your device and your photos (up to the time of the backup). If you did not permanently delete the photos, you can find them in your recently deleted photo album.
