Here we are interested to study the spin-1 particle i.e., electro-magnetic wave in curved space-time, say around black hole. After separating the equations into radial and angular parts, writing them according to the black hole geometry, say, Kerr black hole we solve them analytically. Finally we produce complete solution of the spin-1 particles around a rotating black hole namely in Kerr geometry. Obviously there is coupling between spin of the electro-magnetic wave and that of black hole when particles propagate in that space-time. So the solution will be depending on that coupling strength. This solution may be useful to study different other problems where the analytical results are needed. Also the results may be useful in some astrophysical contexts.
