(1) You seem to be saying that you ‘‘hid’’ your pictures on the disk *after* you formatted it. If that’s the case, I would think recovery wouldn’t be an issue, so I guess I’m misunderstanding it — i.e., I believe that you worded it badly. (2) You might get more specific answers to your question if you specify your operating system and file system type. Please do not respond in comments; [edit] your question to make it clearer and more complete. … (Cont’d) – Scott - Слава Україні Nov 17 '18 at 01:07

I would recommend you not to touch that partition of the hard disk. Do not write any data on the disk because that could possibly overwrite your useful data. If the hard disk has a single partition, then use a different computer to download a LIVE CD/USB image and make a bootable flash drive or CD. One of the most popular images can be found here:- http://www.system-rescue-cd.org . You can find a lot of information on that website itself as in on how to make a bootable disk.
Next, use Testdisk documentation to see the options and use the tool to retrieve your data. Step-by-step guide would be very useful in this regard.
