The inclusive single photon spectrum has been measured in the p{sub T} range from a few MeV/c up to approximately 1 GeV/c at several rapidities in the interval from {minus}2.1 < y{sub cm} < +0.5 in 18 GeV/c proton-beryllium and proton-tungsten collisions at the Brookhaven AGS. The measured photon distributions are compared with the expected distribution of photons from {pi}{sup 0} decays and hadronic bremsstrahlung in a search for new sources of ``soft`` photons at low transverse momentum.
