The amplitude for γp → J/ψp(γp → ψ'p) is calculated in a pQCD k{sub ⊥}-factorization approach. The total cross section for this process is calculated for different unintegrated gluon distributions and compared with the HERA data and the data extracted recently by the LHCb collaboration. The amplitude for γp → J/ψp(γp → ψ'p) is used to predict the cross section for exclusive photoproduction of the J/ψ(ψ') meson in proton-proton and nucleus-nucleus collisions. In the pp case, compared to earlier calculations we include both Dirac and Pauli electromagnetic form factors. We also discuss the dependence of nuclear shadowing on the charmonium state.
