There are several ways to look at and describe how gravity works and mass causing a geometric deformation of space-time is one of them


similarly there are different ways to look at how photons work
one is to think of them as particles and the other as waves, each is able to describe certain events that the other can't

That is why Quantum Theory is so powerful because it combine wave/particle duality in a way that as perfectly as we can determine describes reality
