I want to have a powerful system that allows photos to be organized and stored in a CMS, descriptions, titles etc. The photos itself should be able to show up in a flash based gallery that can be customized easily. I am looking for a more powerful solution than for example Simpleviewer, very userfriendly and effective. What should I look for? Suggestions are more than welcome, with the right ideas and possibilities this could become a paid assignment.
Why don't you try Joomla with gallery component, as for flash effect, lightbox js would be nice to integrate with. See my gallery here for examples : http://www.djavaweb.com/content/view/16/30/lang,en/
