Brainstorming ideas here. Don't mind me.
1/2/3 Columns -
1 column -
+ More space for content with galleries
+ Simpler layout, scroll up or down.
+ More easy to lead the eye of the audience.
+ Room for more design on sidebars, unlikely to squash site content.
- Harder to seperate information
- Mostly forces navigation bar to be across the top of the page
- Makes perhaps too much use of empty space.
2 column -
+ Allows content to be seperated into seperate parts, eg. Images on one side, notes and comments on image on other.
+ Can be used for a navigation sidebar
- Content can seem disconnected
- More compacted content
3 Column -
+ Lots of space for different content.
+ Space for both a navigation bar and extra content.
- Heavily compacted content
I personally think the single-column design would be favourable, considering that the sight will contain a lot of media. The other columns severely restrict how much space can be available for an image. and therefore will make displaying content more difficult.
