Not really. For example i'm owner of the domain steemnot.com
I can (it's just example), provide a personal private file manager (like google drive but not) where you can come and create user that will have his own file/image/doc storage. To keep it for Steemians only, i can setup register form to not automatically approve user, but by admin (me) and can set the rule (same as in Steem Poker Series) that user has to be registered with the same username as steem account or it will not be approved. Once you are approved, you can have your own private images, but still they will be visible to only one you share with. So if you want your follower to see your private photos, he would be also need to have account there so you can share albums with him only. In the post in that way, here on steemit, photos would be not accessible to public, and would be loading as broken, while your follower with who you shared account on another platform can load the post with full images or directly from another website visit albums you shared with him. If someone from steem would help me to create that all through Access API and write whole bloody thing, then it would be possible to avoid registrations and login/create account directly through API, but it would be demanding another investment into the blockchain, similar to chainbb.com

Steemnow is classic web page that is just loading data from accounts through public API and it's not requesting any access from user, so it's not similar solution/example to use :)

Also big ISSUE is how to compress images and how much storage would we need (there is 220.000 users) who are uploading daily 20-500 mb, so it would BE BLEEDING EDGE storage technology and investment included.

Maybe some VIP members only ? :D
