It's both.

If you were able to stop a photon from moving, it does theoretically have a mass (though exponentially smaller than that of an electron). This woould contribute to it's idea of a particle. However, at the speed of light that it travels at, it also has a frequency, and no mass. Thus giving us the idea of a wave.
