1. the most important thing that every site needs is its content. and with the type of your site, there are different types of content that you are gonna create. drupal gives option for the creation of few contents like blog, book and simple page.
now you are gonna need your own custom content types, and this is where the module CCK comes into paly. with CCK you can create your content type with all the fields that you need. there is a huge collection of other contributed modules that are designed to extend the capability of the CCK module.
for instance, the conditional fields module allows you to expose certain field only when the parent field has certain value selected.
2. the second most important thing that a webmaster is gonna do is try to present his contents in different style, for instance, he may want a slideshow of the photos, the most popular content, recent comments, and so on. this need of the webmaster is addressed by the module "views". it too has numerous contributed modules. for eg jcarousel module allows you to have the slideshow of your photos up in the frontpage using the jQuery.
other modules are important but these are some which are sine-qua-non for a website
