You should just be able to take out the MEDIA_ROOT portion of your
upload_to path. So instead of:
upload_to='%s/images/' % settings.MEDIA_ROOT
You would have:
upload_to='images/'
That should make it store the relative address and not the absolute
address in your database.
As for {{photo.image_file.url}} generating the absolute address
instead of the correct url, double-check your "MEDIA_URL" string in
your main settings file. It should be set to something like 'http://
www.example.com/media/' or 'http://www.example.com/site-media/', and
should definitely be different than you "MEDIA_ROOT" setting.
