Django saving to public media folder , error 403

So i have Angular + Django REST API applications hosted on nginx + gunicorn setup.
I'm facing a weird problem . I have my media folder permisssions set to 777 and in my nginx config: 

location /media  {
     alias /home/shalin95/zona_project/zona_api/media;
     expires 20m;
}

I have a model Product with main_picture field ( ImageField saving the files to /media/photos/) . When i create new instance ( new product ), and sometimes when i want to open the image in the browser i get 403 Forbidden error.

NOTE: This happens occasionally , not on every instance saved ( no specific pattern , just randomly)

Thank if i go and chmod -R 777 the media folder everything is okay ( i can see the picture ) , but why this happens ( on some occasions ) ?

So i've concluded that this issue only occurs only when the request was larger than ( ~ 4MB ) i think , so i've added

FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE = 100000000
FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS  = 0o644

in the settings.py file and now the uploads work okay.
