I dont see why you couldnt use Umbraco to manage your photo library. I've extended umbraco previously to do similar, however must add, i used a seperate set of database tables for this and wrote some management screens as user controls (you'd use partials and surface controllers now).
I used umbraco to manage the pages, layouts & membership.
This is helpful, thank you. I guess we could use the Umbraco API to batch import and edit items? This way all the Umbraco housekeeping is triggered. I am not sure about the search index in Umbraco. In Omeka, where it's at now, edits or importing items triggers a Solr index for just those items.
Umbraco good for large photo site?
Do you think Umbraco 7 would be able to handle a large photo site? We have 250,000 photos, some video and audio.
The photos are basically large, one per page format. Important features are search and ability to put photos into collections.
Other important features are ability to batch import photos and metadata, and batch edit photo meta data.

If you get stuck, I can give you some pointers.
