Shotwell uses the system-wide "Pictures" folder defined by XDG.
There is a special config file that determine where all these
XDG folders are located but I think the location of this config
file is distribution specific. For Ubuntu you can try:

  ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

Anyway, other people have asked for it to become easier to setup
a custom "pictures"-folder (without using XDG tools), and there is
a ticket that tracks this feature request:
