  We compute the structure function, transverse momentum dependent parton
distributions (TMDs), and generalized parton distributions (GPDs) for the
physical photon from the light-front quantum electrodynamics (QED) Hamiltonian,
determined for its constituent bare photon and electron-positron Fock
components within the Basis Light-Front Quantization framework. After
performing nonperturbative renormalization, we obtain a good quality
description of the perturbative QED properties of the photon, as well as good
agreement with the experimental data for the photon's structure function. We
also investigate the TMDs and GPDs of the space-like and the time-like virtual
photon by incorporating a nonzero photon mass.
