It's possible that your files were moved somewhere else under your
home directory (maybe trash or a temporary dir). I assume also that
the directory you're talking about is under your home directory and
not somewhere else, eg under /mnt/ or /media/

Start up your terminal program and run

cd ~
find .  -iname '*jpg*'

(Assuming that your photos were jpg).
