How to handle ImageFiled in Django rest framework?

I am new to django rest framework and trying to handle image data. After adding an ImageFiled i can upload image to my model. But on accessing that image via browser, the browser returns a page not found error.

My model

from __future__ import unicode_literals
from django.conf import settings
from django.db import models
from rest_framework import serializers
from urlparse import urljoin


class Item(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=64, verbose_name='name')
    address = models.CharField(max_length=64, verbose_name='address')
    image = models.ImageField(max_length=None, null=True)

def __str__(self):
    return self.name

Model serializer

class ItemSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

class Meta:
    model = Hotel
    fields = ('name','address','id','image')

The field image returns a url and on hitting that url the browser returns a 404 error. So what is the proper way to implemet an api with image data?

You may need to add in your urls.py,

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = [
    # ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
