Are you using iCloud Photos?

If yes, deleted photos can only be restored if they are still saved in the Recently Deleted album in iCloud Photos, but after 29 days, they will be removed automatically from that album.

If you're missing photos or videos in the Photos app - Apple Support


In case you'd not use iCloud Photos an iCloud backup will contain the photos, which can not be extracted.

But, since each new backup replaces the old one, this data might also be gone.
