No, unless you use HORRIBLY complicated quantum-electro-dynamics.

It's a lot easier to explain refraction with the wave model, or even the principle of least time.

What is a photon model?

Two models were developed to explain what light is, the photon model, which depicts light as a particle, and the wave model. In the field of quantum mechanics it is now recognized that light is both a particle and a wave (sometimes called a wavicle).

How would you explain an individual particle with string theory?

An individual point particle in the standard model is described in string theory as a mode of vibration of a string. If for some reason the mode of vibration of the string changed, the particle would change to a different one.
