You need to configure MEDIA_URL correctly. The "url" attribute of an ImageFile is basically just a pass-through from the underlying storage backend. For out-of-the-box Django, the upload_to path is appended to MEDIA_URL to generate the URL for a FileField.

What you have: '' + 'cache/e5/25/e5253a328b9130ecd7d820893f44b0e6.jpg'
What you want: '/media/' + 'cache/e5/25/e5253a328b9130ecd7d820893f44b0e6.jpg'

Note: you would need to make sure that MEDIA_URL is aliased/mapped to whatever directory Django is uploading your files to (MEDIA_ROOT).
