Pillow is not working

I just started a new Django project and when I try to makemigratons I get an error saying that I have to install Pillow and I have already installed Pillow.

ERRORS:
shop.ProductImages.product_img: (fields.E210) Cannot use ImageField because Pillow is not installed.
HINT: Get pillow at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow or run command "pip install pillow".

When I run pip freeze I can see that Pillow is already installed:

Pillow==2.7.0

I'm using Python 3.4.3 and Django 1.8. I didn't have this problem when I was using Python 2.7.

UPDATE:

When i try to import Image from PIL outside my virtualenv everything is fine, but when I try that in virtualenv i get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
Fille "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 63, in <module>
from PIL import _imaging as core
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I have python2 installed outside my virtualenv so does this mean that python is not looking in my virtualenv\Lib\site-packages? And I have just noticed that when I run pip freeze i get a list of packages that are installed on my system and not in virualenv, also when I try to install something that is already installed on my system I have to run pip --upgrade.

I overcome this problem with easy_install --upgrade pillow and if I want to install some package in virtualenv that I already have on my system I can just use pip <name of package> --upgrade. If someone have explanation for this problem and better solution please let me know!

This happen because you have multiple python version installed. uninstall other python version and install pillow on your latest python version.
