You can recover your photos in rs mmc by using search and recover by IOLO.

If the photos are in memory card, You can use a File Recovery Software. If they are in phone memory, I think not.

Why it can be done with a memory card is, because with the FAT file system, when a file is deleted, it isn't really deleted/erased, but just the directory entry is marked as deleted, and the blocks where the file was become free.

However, even with a memory card, if the blocks where the file content resides is overwritten, then recovery is not possible.
