Sorry, Gian517, Recently Deleted is the only safety line offered by Apple. Once you permanently deleted the files from recently Deleted, you have to fall back onto your own backups you made. Even expensive data recovery software will have no chance to recover any traces of the deleted items because of the built-in Data Protection (https://support.apple.com/en-ie/guide/security/sece3bee0835/web).
Try to remember where you have used the deleted photos. Perhaps you can find the most important photos as attachments in Mail or messages or other places where you used them.

If you deleted them from the Recently Deleted album, there is no recovery as that means they are permanently deleted. When deleing a photo, it will go in the Recently Deleted album for 30 days in case you change your mind and if you delete them from that folder or it is longer than 30 days then they are gone for good.
I suspect it would be a huge privacy issue if Apple held on to your photos after you had requested that they were deleted.

No. Unless you have a backup of some kind they are permanently gone.
