We measured 30 000 wide-angle electron-positron pairs from the reaction γ+p→p+e++e− in the invariant-mass region 500≤m≤1060 MeV. The photoproduction amplitudes of the ρ, ω and ϕ mesons were measured to deviate from being pure imaginary by 37.5°−3.1°+2.8°, 29.6°−12.9°+15.5°, 3.4°−4.2°+5.3°,respectively.
