"ImportError: The Python Imaging Library was not found." raised through wsgi.py in Django app using Apache

I am working on a project using Django and am trying to connect it to my Apache server. Here is the traceback for the error I am getting:

mod_wsgi (pid=3325): Target WSGI script '/var/www/Project/project/wsgi.py' cannot be loaded as Python module.
mod_wsgi (pid=3325): Exception occurred processing WSGI script '/var/www/Project/project/wsgi.py'.

ImportError: The Python Imaging Library was not found.

Here is my config file:

WSGIPythonPath /var/www/Project:/var/www/Project/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/Project/project/wsgi.py

<Directory /var/www/Project/project>
    <Files wsgi.py>
            Require all granted
    </Files>
</Directory>

I tried running: import PIL and, import Image from PIL in the python shell and got no errors. I am inclined to think that the issue has something to do with my configuration of Apache or mod_wsgi. I don't get any such errors when I run my django app with the command {python manage.py runserver}

Useful info: using CentOS7, Apache 2.4.6, Python 2.7.5, mod_wsgi 3.4 (Please feel free to ask for more info!)

Check for PIL on your server where your app is deployed. if not you have to install it.
