What your looking for is exactly achieved by providing a custom default file storage class.
Have a look at: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/settings/#default-file-storage http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/topics/files/#file-storage Here's a simple example of how it might work in your case: # settings.py DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'core.models.ImageStorage' FILE_STORAGE_LOCATION = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), *('media', 'images')) FILE_STORAGE_BASE_URL = MEDIA_URL + 'images/' # models.py class ImageStorage(FileSystemStorage): def __init__(self, location=None, base_url=None): location = location or settings.FILE_STORAGE_LOCATION base_url = base_url or settings.FILE_STORAGE_BASE_URL super(DocumentStorage, self).__init__(location, base_url) So now `ImageStorage` is the default storage class for all your model file fields and, by default, all uploaded files are stored in '/media/ images/'.
