The discussion on the production of prompt photons with pT of a few GeV inthe tagged process ep -> e gamma X with small Q^2 (DIC process) at the HERAcollider is presented. Photons produced in the forward (proton) direction aremainly originating from subprocesses involving interactions of the gluoniccontent of the exchanged photon. The large enhancement over the Born term(direct photon) is found up to a factor of 35 for a real photon and up to 5 fora virtual photon with a squared virtuality 1 GeV^2. It gives a possibility ofextracting a gluonic density of the real and of the virtual photon. The BFKLapproach to the description of the forward particle production is shortlydiscussed.
