We consider the transverse-momentum distribution of heavy flavours inphoton-hadron collisions. We present a formalism in which largetransverse-momentum logarithms are resummed to the next-to-leading level, andmass effects are included exactly up to order alpha_em alpha_s^2, so as toretain predictivity at both small and large transverse momenta.Phenomenological applications relevant to charm photoproduction at HERA aregiven.Comment: 26 pages, Latex, epsfig, 15 figures.
