Does the UK Government provide photography business grants?

The UK Government does not currently provide any specific photography business grants, but that is not the same as saying that there are no UK Government grants that a photography business could apply for.

Most UK Government grants that are intended to help small business owners are general in the sense that they are not offered for a particular business type, such as a photography business. At least, you will find UK Government support programs that focus on a specific industry or a far more broad type of business. For example, instead of wasting time looking for photography business grants that do not exist, such a company should seek out grants for businesses involved with the arts or for general government business grant funding options.
