RDBMS or NoSQL for image gallery website

I was just doing some online research on which database to use for a website which would be image intensive (will be a fairly low visitor count as it’s currently operating on a facebook page) - sadly I haven’t found an obvious answer as I’m still stuck on whether to be doing a Relational or a NoSQL database!

More specifically, the website is presenting craft photos to potential customers, so you can have categories on each of the craft items to help organise. There will be member accounts too, with members able to “favourite” or “like” a particular craft item/image.

While (I think) I understand the differences between the two database concepts - the main one being that relational is ACID compliant of course.

I’m just not sure what will be the best fit for this particular use-case, can anyone help steer me in the correct direction? What database would you go for, and is there any reason behind that? I’m just worried about picking one and later realising it being the wrong choice.

Thanks for any help on this!
