Uploading a picture in django to a unique folder

I'm fairly new to Django and am having a bit of trouble trying to upload images

So broadly, I have a user class:

class User(AbstractBaseUser):
    user_id = models.UUIDField(default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False, unique=True)

And a profile class:

class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    photo = models.ImageField(upload_to=<PATH>, blank=True, default=get_default_profile_image)

For the above PATH in profile, I tried to upload it to:
'profiles/' + user.user_id + '/image.png'

But if I try to do that, it says "AttributeError: 'OneToOneField' object has no attribute 'user_id'"

Is there any way to set the upload_to path as profiles/user_id/image.png where the user_id will be the unique id of that user?

You can pass a callable to the upload_to=… parameter [Django-doc], so we can work with:

class Profile(models.Model):
    def photo_upload(self, filename):
        return f'profiles/{self.user.user_id}/{filename}'
    
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    photo = models.ImageField(
        upload_to=photo_upload,
        blank=True,
        default=get_default_profile_image
    )
