Photons are the energy packets which are massless okay, so I think that if a magnetic field can affect the photon, gravity can also affect it by attracting it. Overall it's a gravitational force which pulls it towards itself regardless of mass. This might happen due to density of the photon. Hence density matters in this case.

Explanation: photons are moving therfore have momentum, and anything with a momentum can be affected by (Newtonian) gravity
