You are stuck on the photon being a crude object like a cup or your body. The shadow is just less light, the darker the shadow means there is less light than in other areas. It can also be a combination as well, you can bombard an object with equal light on all sides however it can still cast a shadow due to those photons which pass unobstructed by the object.
A photon itself does not have a shadow or is it the absence of light. The photon is a particle that behaves like waves. Probably more accurate to say it is a field of potential with a fixed location.
You want to see a shadow as something significant but in reality a shadow doesn't exist as a thing, because shadows are just what we call having less light refraction.
Therefore you can not speak of a shadow having or not having properties because it does not exist as thing.
