Answer 1

You don't need a custom form.

This is the minimum you need:

# models.py
from __future__ import unicode_literals

from django.db import models

class Photo(models.Model):
    CHOICES = (
        ('hero', 'Hero'),
        ('story', 'Our Story'),
    )

    name = models.CharField(max_length=250, null=False, choices=CHOICES)

# admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Photo


class PhotoAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('name',)


admin.site.register(Photo, PhotoAdmin)
