I have a small collection of albino animals, and this is one of them -- an albino long-tailed macaque I photographed in a zoo in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I had to do a lot of Photoshop work to eliminate the wire mesh in front of and behind the monkey. To get rid of the wire mesh in the foreground, I usually use a telephoto lens placed up against the wire along with a large lens aperture purposely creating shallow depth of field to throw the foreground so out of focus it disappears. In this case, though, the macaque was sitting too close to the front of the enclosure. That meant I couldn't use a long lens if I wanted to include the entire animal. So, Photoshop allowed me to make this scene look as natural as possible. I shot this with a film camera, the medium format Mamiya RZ 67, and the settings went unrecorded.
