Use Recuva sofware to recover lost photos.
scan your entire hard disk with this software & yes don't forget to Enable deep scan.
Recuva software is freeware.

Use Recuva for recovering pics , its good for that.

Make sure that you don't write anything else on your hard drive ,before recovery is successful.Else this will reduce the chances of recovery.
Good Luck.
