You’re messing with the src attribute of the image. It should just be –

<img src="{{beer.image1.url}}" /> <!-- from the media url -->

Don’t add anything to the end – django know’s the url to serve the image from – that’s what the ImageField on the model does.

I don’t know that there’s actually anything wrong with your url conf, but the pattern recommended in the docs is –

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
) + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

Follow this steps to load an image on your Django Template:

  1. Add this to your settings file:
    
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

  1. Create a folder named “media” under your project root directory, meaning the folder will be on the same level as your apps

  2. Add these to your main urls.py

from . import views, settings
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import static

urlpatterns = [
    # ... the rest of your path goes here ...
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
  1. In your model, use ImageField for the field being used for the image.
    
photo = models.ImageField(upload_to="gallery")
  1. Add below to your template to load your images

If you are loading dynamically from a context object, use a syntax similar to this:

    
img src="{{ obj1.photo.url }}"

If you are loading statically, when the file name is already determined, use:

img src="/media/project_name/photo.png"

the location of your images are important. it has to be in the static folder and that has to be defined in the settings.
