With the code from the django-storages you referenced installed somewhere on PYTHONPATH, its as easy as setting a few things in your settings.py. You can see the docs for the code at http://code.larlet.fr/doc/django-s3-storage.html. Put the Required and Optional (if you want it, obviously) stuff in your settings.py and fill in the appropriate values for your S3 account.
Now, assuming those settings are all correct, all of your FileFields (and thus, ImageFields) should store to S3 into the bucket you set. You can continue to use upload_to to prefix the filename within the bucket. Now, I've noticed a few bugs, both of which I've notified David (the author) of: 1) if you call object.filefield.size, this code will download the entire file from S3 just to calculate the size. This happens because of the construction of the _open() method on the S3Storage class. It should not make the S3 get call (which downloads the file). The workaround for now is not to use the size property with this code, but the more permanent fix is to delay reading of the file from S3 until read() is called on a S3StorageFile object. 2) I cannot get images to store correctly to S3 when using an ImageField. They appear in the bucket with a small filesize change, but no software I have will recognize them as valid images. Storing images (and any other file) via a FileField works just fine and the files are not corrupted. Strangely, storing images via ImageField on the FileSystemStorage backend works just fine, so it only seems to be the combination of an ImageField while using this S3 backend that is the problem. I am not sure where the bug in this is. If you give it a try, see if you can verify this bug for me.
