The files are effectively still there, UNLESS one has done a "Secure Delete". Otherwise deleted files are kept until they are overwritten by new files.
In other words, DO NOT touch the Mac and do anything until you have rescued them with an application like mentioned by Brad.

Ouch. That hurts.
Not sure if this was a recent event or not, but if it just happened, tell your friend not to use his computer (I'm assuming it was a Mac) until he has a chance to undelete the files. If he copied them to his computer, they're still there. Applications like Data Rescue can retrieve this data.
If he used CF cards, an application called PhotoRescue will do a good job of ressurecting the last set of images on each card he was using.
So there's a still a pretty good chance your friend can save much of the day's work.
