Do I always have to run collectstatic to serve uploaded images by apache?

I have a site, where users can upload images. And it works fine in django's own server. But I am using apache to serve both my app and statics. And when I upload any image, I can't see the pics. Only when I runcollectstatic I can see them. Do I always have to run collectstatic? Is there any better way to do this?

my settings.py snippet:

  MEDIA_ROOT = 'C:/Users/Robin/web/leo/static'    STATIC_ROOT = 'C:/Users/Robin/static/'    STATICFILES_DIRS = (      "C:/Users/Robin/web/leo/static",

apache http.cont snippet:

  AliasMatch ^/([^/]*\.css) C:/Users/Robin/static/styles/$1    Alias /static/ C:/Users/Robin/static/    <Directory C:/Users/Robin/static>  Order deny,allow  Allow from all  </Directory>    WSGIScriptAlias / C:/Users/Robin/web/leo/leo/wsgi.py    <Directory C:/Users/Robin/web/leo/leo>  <Files wsgi.py>  Order allow,deny  Allow from all  </Files>  </Directory>

Please guide me. Any help will be appreciated greatly. Thank you!
