On the basis of the vector-dominance model supplemented with the fusion model, a mechanism for photoproduction of charmed hadrons is proposed. In the framework of this mechanism, the total cross sections and inclusive spectra of charmed hadrons in ..gamma..N interactions are calculated. According to the theoretical estimates that are obtained, at low energies the yields of D-bar mesons exceed the yields of D mesons; this is due to pair production of D-bar mesons and ..lambda../sub c/ baryons.
