Image is not uploaded via django form

My Views

def apost(request):
    if request.method =='POST':
        form = APostForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            form = form.save(commit=False)
            form.slug = slugify(form.title)
            form.save()
            return redirect('apost')
    else:
        form = APostForm()

    template_name = 'dadmin/form.html'
    items = Post.objects.all()
    context = {'title':'Add Post','form':form,'items':items}
    return render (request, template_name, context)

My Form

class APostForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Post
        fields = {'title','photo','content'}

Models

photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='images')

No Image uploaded is Accepted Photo is selected but when Click save. It shows this field is required error. I had searched through the questions here but request.FILES solves others problems but not mines. Whats wrong?

in views.y, the form you are saving should also have request.FILES

studentProfileForm = StudentRegisterForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
    if studentProfileForm.is_valid():
        user = studentProfileForm.save()

you should use in template where you are uploading form:

    <form class="form-horizontal form_middle" enctype='multipart/form-data' method="POST">
#apply logic for media upload
</form>

File upload is a bit weird in model forms in django. Change your forms.py to -

class APostForm(forms.ModelForm):
    photo=forms.FileField(label='Upload image') # or image field
    class Meta:
        model = Post
        fields = {'title','content'}

form.save() will automatically save the field.
