In a transport model that combines initial state interactions of the photon with final state interactions of the produced particles we present a calculation of inclusive photoproduction of mesons in nuclei in the energy range from 1 to 7 GeV. We give predictions for the photoproduction cross sections of pions, etas, kaons, antikaons, and π+π- invariant mass spectra in 12C and 208Pb. The effects of nuclear shadowing and final state interaction of the produced particles are discussed in detail.
