    Please check with the experts in the iPhoto support area for all of the reasons why you would NOT want to do this. The link is just below.

    You can move your iPhoto Library to a locally mounted external drive. But network access to an iPhoto library is not supported. iPhoto is a single user application with a local database.  Network access will slow iPhoto down and you are risking database inconsistencies, permission errors, and dataloss. 

     

    And any external volume used with an iPhoto Library needs to be formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled).

     

    See what Apple recommend:  The knowledge base article is written for Aperture, but the same goes for iPhoto, since both applications are sharing the same databases: 

    Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
