If you were syncing photos to iCloud, you can sync another device/computer to iCloud using the same Apple ID, and download the photos to that device/computer.


If you weren't syncing photos to iCloud and have a backup, you can restore the backup to another device. Restoring from a backup erases all data currently on your device. Any data newer than when the backup was made will be erased. A restore is an all or nothing restore. You can't access a backup and only restore certain files.


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.    


You can also do a manual download at iCloud.com/Photos. Hold down the command key while selecting the photos. Then click Download. Another option is to select a Moment, then click the Share button, and then cancelling the Share. The photos should remain selected.
