Thanks for the follow up Luiz, as I have no proper training in physics unfortunately I can't really talk in your terms ... But the idea is something like that: a high number of photons colliding at a proper angle and having the proper energy could maybe evolve into a "swirl" like trajectory...

thanks for the answers, can't blame a non-physicists for trying a simpler model :)

Did not really mean it's mandatory to be 2 photons only, there could be a bunch of them actually, I was only asking if it's possible to see matter as a lump of photons orbiting around ... To be honest I did realize there would be a problem getting charge out of it but got them one at the time :)

I was thinking that though it would take a massive thing to change the path of a photon passing by at a distance of let's say 1Km, it would however take a much smaller one to change the path of a photon which is really really close by ... I guess then the short answer is NO ... :) So, though...

I think I was actually asking if mass at the most basic level is actually made of two photons orbiting each other. Or, could 2 colliding photons start orbiting each other ? If they could, would that be matter at the most basic level ?

As far as I know both mass and energy affects space-time. Mass creates a "sphere like zone of distortion", the space-time is less altered as we move away from the center. Photons on the other hand alter the space-time rather wave like, along the propagation trajectory and not "locally". Could...
