1) Immediately shut down Raspberry Pi. 2) Make block-level image copy of SD card. Do not do the following on SD card itself! 3) Mount a filesystem from said copy on a Debian PC (can be substituted with any GNU/Linux PC). 4) Install testdisk on a Debian PC. 5) Run photorec as root on a filesystem from pt 3. 6) Consider doing regular filesystem backups in the future, preferably automatic ones.
