  The production of prompt photons is one of the most relevant scattering
processes studied at hadron-hadron colliders in recent years. This article will
give an overview of the different approaches used to simulate prompt photon
production in the Sherpa event generator framework. Special emphasis is placed
on a complete simulation of this process including fragmentation
configurations. As a novel application a merged simulation of $\gamma\gamma$
and $\gamma\gamma+$jet production at NLO accuracy is presented and compared to
measurements from the ATLAS experiment.
