Abstract
The various mechanisms which may be responsible for charm photoproduction are reviewed and compared to experimental data. The photongluon fusion process provides the dominant contribution to the total cross-section at present energies. Emphasis is given to the final state structure. Assuming that hadronization takes place through string fragmentation, we calculate rapidity distributions and correlations for charmed mesons and baryons.
