For simple lists, a Google Sheets spreadsheet enables collaborative 
editing. It supports images in cells by reference with =IMAGE("URL").

How many records, and do they need relations between tables? What are 
the reporting requirements and use-cases? How many users? What access 
control? Input validation? Do you need the ability to roll back bad changes?

If you want a proper database, I use and recommend postgresql because it 
scales from tiny to massive applications and just keeps on working 
without much intervention.

Kind regards,
