If the work is related to Christmas, Valentine's Day, or similar celebrations, it is not permissible, because it involves assisting in falsehood. As for the work of photo albums, it depends on the ruling concerning the making of photographic images and how free they are from شرعي (Islamic legal) prohibitions. The more cautious approach is to avoid working in the field of photo albums to avoid controversy and to safeguard one's religion.
