In some contexts, such as QED and the standard model, photons are
quite different from matter, because they are different fundamental
particles.
The primary difference is that photons are Bosons and anything we
would call "matter" includes at least some Fermions.

and the -=- radiation they represent are quite distinct from
matter.
In another context, GR, photons are not used and the
electromagnetic fields and radiation they represent are often
lumped together with everything that has a nonzero energy-momentum
tensor and called "matter" (as distinct from "vacuum", which has a
zero energy-momentum tensor) -- note this is really a pun on that
word. -=-

We cannot describe _anything_ without a theory, and that will
have to do until and unless we discover/construct a new and better
theory describing them.
