Does Increasing Light Wave Amplitude Mean More Photons?

If the amplitude of a light wave increases does that mean that the intensity of the wave increases, and thus the number of photons? I'm thinking here re the wave/particle duality of light.

Yes, provided that you keep the frequency of the light wave the same.
