Get media files
Use Get<ImageFile>(contentLink) instead of GetDefault. GetDefault is used for creating new items.

How do I get a media file with IContentRepository(and is that the way I suppose to do it)?
I have uploaded an image to a folder and using it in a block. Then I tried to get the AlternativeText property of my ImageFile and it is null even though the file is published with set values.
var contentRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentRepository>();
var contentLink = new ContentReference(id);
var media = contentRepository.GetDefault<ImageFile>(contentLink);
All media propertys are null..
