Your best bet would be to convert the binary image file as a base64 string on the server before sending it to the client then convert it back into binary on the client.

There's a great question here that describes some of the nuances of this approach

How about going in the other direction? Uploading an image to an MVC endpoint via JSON?

Convert your image file to Base64 and use it.
