Imagine travelling along a straight road that followed the equator, you travelled straight and level but you’d end up back where you started eventually. Space and more importantly time is bent in the same way by gravity, to the light ‘particles’ they are travelling straight but to an observer elsewhere they are being dragged in or around the black hole.
