You made two mistakes here. First of all, you need to pass request.FILES to the form:
from django.shortcuts import redirect
def create_view(request,*args,**kwargs):
if request.method == 'POST':
my_form=create_form(request.POST, request.FILES)
if my_form.is_valid():
my_form.save()
return redirect('some-view')
else:
my_form = create_form()
context={'form': my_form}
return render(request,'first create.html', context)
and furthermore you need to specify enctype="multipart/form-data" in your <form> tag:
<main>
<section>
<form action="" method="Post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
{{form.as_p}}
<input type="submit" value="save"/>
</form>
</section>
</main>
Note that you better implement the Post/Redirect/Get pattern [wiki] and thus make a redirect(..) [Django-doc] in case of a succesful POST request.
