You cannot upload an image using JSON. Instead you need to use FormData objects. Once you have used FormData objects Laravel will be able to pickup the uploaded file.

Depending on how you are handling the request on your front end, you could handle this in a variety of methods.

You can find more information about FormData objects here.
