So my dad accidentally deleted his pictures that he took with his camera.
He would like to know where they're stored and what application he can restore in titanium backup to get them back
Thanks guys

He'll need an SD card reader (and a microSD adapter) for his computer, and one of the file retrieval tools he can find by googling. He should also pull the SD card out of his phone ASAP (make sure to unmount it first). This will keep the phone from writing over his pictures. They're stored in DCIM/Camera.
 
First thing to note is that the deleted data on the phone will remain there until something new is saved and overwrites it. This might not happen immediately but eventually, after continued use, it will.
Either connect the phone straight to a PC using a USB cable (if supplied with the phone) or take the card out and put it in a card reader attached to the PC. You should see memory card shown as a drive letter (like H:) in Windows Explorer.
Then try some photo recovery software on the PC. This should recognize the phone or card and then you can scan it using the free download of some good photo recovery software. That will show you what files still exist on the phone or card and what can be recovered.
