I have no issues with the OP's question, but many replies given are either wrong or are based on quantum mechanics as it stood in the 1920s.

Ask a physicist or mathematician as to how photons are "created" and they will explain it in the arcane language of Quantum Field Theory with its use of Lagrangians and gauge theory.
