Photon processes in nuclei are studied using a conventional optical model, interpreted unconventionally. To calibrate the method excellent fits to hadron-nucleus total cross sections are obtained. When applied to photon processes the "self-absorption" feature of the model tends to suppress the shadowing from what has previously been predicted. A further suppression is shown to result from the finite width of vector mesons. Reasonable agreement with recent electroproduction data is obtained.
