Retrieve photos from my s5 with a dead screen?

If the phone will turn on, you might be able to access it by then connecting it via USB to a computer. No guarantees though.

Should that not work, you may well have to replace the screen to access the data.

Solution 1: First of all, if your phone won't turn on at all, restart it by pressing the Power key for 10 seconds. If the problem still remains, try the second method.

Solution 2: Sometimes your phone does not switch on just because it is run out of power. Having it charged for a couple of hours and see whether it goes back to the normal state. If this measure still doesn’t work, try the final one.

Solution 3: Press the Volume Up, Power and Home button simultaneously to boot the device into Recovery Mode. Scroll down the main menu via Volume key and select "Factory reset/Wipe data" by pressing the Power button.
Note: The third method will delete all the data stored on your phone if you haven't backed them up before.

CherylGrove, they are trying to get data off the phone, so option 3 would be completely counter productive.
