Can't you just connect the phone to the laptop? USB cable

Doesn't your phone automatically upload pictures to OneDrive?

If you can see the screen at all, then you can try to shut down the phone by simply pressing the power button.. Let go of the power button as soon as the slidescreen comes down with the option to slide down if you want to power off the device.. This might trick the phone into skipping the lockscreen? Not sure tho.. If you do try this, you should keep the phone connected via usb cable
