Why is iPhone 6 Photo Storage so high?

[iMore Question]

My 16GB iphone 6 shows that it is using 1.2GB storage for photos and cam... I deleted the few photos I had on the phone and it continues to show 1.2 GB. How can this be? I have no photos or videos stored in this phone. I only had 10 pictures to start with. I desperately need to create additional storage and this seemed like a good place to start.

Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support...not exactly on point, but has some options one can look at to make space available on devices...

No help there. I am new here. I figured out how to start a new thread. I asked same question there. Somehow my phone has 1.2GB of photos that cannot be located. They are not under deleted photos. There were only a dozen pics there and I deleted them. I desperately need to restore this space.

Thanks for your help
