There are still more situations of this kind making you suffer from the photo loss. If you ever found yourself in that annoying situation, do not feel hopeless, I can assure you that it is not the end of the world. When the photo is transferred from somewhere else, you can get it again. But if the photo comes from the camera roll on your iPhone and there is no backup, you have to recover it with a third-party tool.
iPhone Data Recovery is a good program to solve iPhone photo recovery issues. It helps you easily recover lost or deleted photos & videos, contacts, SMS, call logs, memos and calendars, even Safari bookmarks from iPhone 4S. With the help of it, you can easily recover photos from iPhone 5/4S/4/3GS or iTunes backup.

Part 2. how to recover deleted photos from iPhone 4S
First Step. Choose the iPhone backup to scan
Install and run the iPhone Data Recovery program on your PC. Don’t connect and sync your iPhone with iTunes when you recover data from your iPhone. You’ll have to choose your device type to scan first.
After checking your device type and selecting „Recover Data from iTunes Backup File“ mode, all iDevice backups will be showed here. You only need to choose the backup of your iPhone, and proceed to „Start Scan“.
Second Step. Recover iPhone 4S Photos
After finish scanning, all contents in iTunes backup file have been displayed, and you can preview and check them one by one. Check those you want back and hit to „Recover“ and select a path to save them.
Friendly Remind: Before recover deleted photos from iPhone 4S, don’t sync your iPhone with iTunes after you find the data loss on your iPhone. Because iTunes only updates the backup file every time you sync with it, not to build a new backup file. So if you have synced your iPhone again, the backup file will be overwritten by the content on your iPhone, and the lost data will go forever.
