request through form-data in POSTMAN:

request through curl:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" -F "profile_image=@/home/shivani/Pictures/Wallpapers/8018.jpg" http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/users/1/image/
{"message":"Image Uploaded successfully.","profile_image":"http://res.cloudinary.com/aubergine-solutions/image/upload/v1430204993/w0oxhv6beaxd14twrxmi.jpg"}~

Can anybody help to solve this problem?

Well, just to specify if anyone is running into this problem that if you want to upload image using json then base64 string of image needs to be attached like "profile_image": { "name": "72397.jpg", "content_type":"image/jpg", "file":"base64string"} or either way is "form-data" – Squalene

I'm also having same issue now. And I need to pass basic data with image. Can you give me the code, how you are passing image with raw data. – Rheinlander

When i'm using the image upload, i encoded the image using base64,and that encoded string is passed as json string.In the backend we can decoded the string and make the image.Try this, i think it works.
