What you will need is a Terms of Use agreement for the website and a "click-wrap" agreement for users which prohibits uploading of photos that contain intellectual property and provides a release of liability to you as the site owner. You also may have some obligation to police the site for copyright infringement so as not to condone, acquiesce in or enable copyright infringement or other illegal acts.
