I'm not a physicist (I only play one on the Internet) but
as far as I know, there ain't no such beast as an "anti-photon."
A particle and its anti-particle annihilate each other because
a particle's quantum mechanical "glue" is the solvent for the
glue of its anti-particle.
So the two particles turn into energy.
