Need to recover photos from an iPhone 6 that has no screen

Please help me, I have about half of years photos on an iPhone 6 that was not backed up because my iCloud was full. I recently broke the phone in such a way that the screen has fallen off and the home button has fallen off. The phone is also very bent. My phone looks similar to this (http://tech-tut.com/wp-content/uploads/2...)

The device is now in recovery mode and whenever I plug it into iTunes I get

"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."

I believe I can fix my own problem if someone can tell me exactly what I have to do to initiate clicking the home button without the screen. I can fix myself if I get into DFU mode. So I'm begging for an answer to how I can recover my photos or get into DFU mode without the home button. If anyone knows a data recovering software that negates recovery mode all together and lets me recovery photos I would be forever grateful. I'm even offering $50 in pay pal if anyone can help and guide me through this.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

*DO NOT go ahead with the recovery with iTunes without the original home button. Error 53 will come up and you will loose your data completely. *

If it is in recovery mode from you doing nothing, I'm not sure how this is going to turn out.

The best thing to do would be to replace the screen and home button with working ones and try to get out of recovery mode/DFU mode by pressing the home and power button at the same time for 10 seconds and then holding ONLY the power button down for the rest of the time till it boots.

in my opinion the above answer is the only method, however in my experience its an unlikely fix.

Yeah, well if he replaces the home button and screen and he can't get out of DFU mode, then it would seem pretty hopeless. Would sound like logic board damage.
