Yes. You may experience photo loss when you accidentally deleted the photos folder on Samsung Galaxy S8, factory reset your phone, frequently used the same SD card on multiple devices, got your device water damaged/virus attacked...

Once you lose photos from your Samsung Galaxy, they are not immediately deleted. On the contrary, the deleted photos will stay in Samsung storage and change from the Allocated to Unallocated folder. If you continue downloading or shooting photos with your Galaxy S8, the newly created data will overwrite the deleted photos forever.

Thus, you'd better not access your phone, toggle off the Wi-Fi/cellular data connection, and power it off before you make a Samsung data recovery. Next, you can check the backup file or use a professional Samsung photo recovery tool to get them back.
