The large t behavior of the helicity amplitudes of diffractive photoproduction is estimated relying on models of the photon and meson light-cone wave functions and on the double-logarithmic approximation to the exchanged gluon interaction. The role of large-size color dipole contributions to the photon-meson transition impact factor is discussed.
