You don't need to "repel" photons. You can absorb them for the same effect (which is how most fictional Darkness Monsters work.)

This would imply your darkness fields had some kind of mass or density, which as an artificially produced phenomenon would vary, which explains why some of them and not others are able to block out sound, seize physical movement, suffocate people, or club them over the head like blunt instruments.

But it doesn't really matter, because when we write good fiction, we're writing for people who are not you.
