It depends on whether you've backed up your photos. If you have iCloud Photo turned on, your photos are stored in iCloud. During the iPhone restore process, your photos will be automatically downloaded from iCloud. They will go back to the new or restored iPhone and will not be lost.

If you do not have iCloud Photo Library turned on, your photos are stored on the local storage of the iPhone. In this case, restoring the iPhone will clear all local data, including your photos, unless you have backed up your photos.

You may use other ways to back up your photos. After you restore your iPhone, you can make these photos back because they are saved as backups. Restoring your iPhone to factory settings will completely erase all data on your device, including contacts, messages, photos, apps, etc. After restoring your iPhone, you will need to re-download and re-install all previously installed apps.

If you don't back up your iPhone beforehand, all of the iPhone data will be lost forever. To avoid data loss, it is recommended that you back up your entire device before restoring. This way, even after restoring, you can get all of your data back. You can use a professional backup tool to do this - EaseUS MobiMover. It can help you back up various types of iPhone data in one click. The whole backup process will be completed in a few clicks. You don't need to wait for a long time for the backup.
