That is what the parent comments were talking about - on the photon sphere - in case of a non-rotating black hole - photons could theoretically orbit the black hole but as pointed out by your parent comment this orbit is not stable and any tiny perturbation will either send the photons into the black hole or make them escape. And the photons would of course not stand still - they are massless particles and therefore can only move at the speed of light, neither slower nor faster - but orbit the black hole at the speed of light.
