steps:
1. In your settings file, you'll need to define ``MEDIA_ROOT`` as the
full path to a directory where you'd like Django to store uploaded
files. (For performance, these files are not stored in the database.)
Define ``MEDIA_URL`` as the base public URL of that directory. Make
sure that this directory is writable by the Web server's user
account.

to define the ``upload_to`` option to tell Django to which
subdirectory of ``MEDIA_ROOT`` it should upload files.
to define the ``upload_to`` option to tell Django to which

3. All that will be stored in your database is a path to the file
(relative to ``MEDIA_ROOT``). You'll must likely want to use the
convenience ``get_<fieldname>_url`` function provided by Django. For
example, if your ``ImageField`` is called ``mug_shot``, you can get
the absolute URL to your image in a template with ``{{
object.get_mug_shot_url }}``.
