Hi Julien38280, welcome to our Community! 

 

If I understand the situation correctly, it seems your photographer sent you a link in order for you to access some pictures. You didn't download the content from said link, and now they are deleted, and you wish to restore them, right?

 

The only person that could potentially restore this content would be the person that had shared them with you, from their Dropbox account. That also depends on how long ago they were deleted.

 

If they got deleted months ago, there might not be recoverable, I'm afraid.

 

I hope this clarifies!
