Photons do interact with each other gravitationally. It's not as simple as just attracting each other - the Newtonian limit doesn't work here - but parallel photon beams going in opposite directions, for instance, will be deflected towards each other.


But photons traveling in (almost...) the same direction (such as the photons that arrive at some destination after gravitational lensing do not gravitationally attract.
