You can simply convert your image to a Base64String then post it as a StringContent.

public static async Task Post(string controller, string method, string accessToken, string bodyRequest) where T : class
{
    using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
    {
        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Clear();
        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", accessToken);

        var stringContent = new StringContent(bodyRequest, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");

        var response = await client.PostAsync($"{Constants.ApiBaseUrl}/api/{controller}/{method}", stringContent);
        if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            return response.Content as T;
    }
    return default(T);
}

bodyRequest on my code is the class/Model value to be converted to string

using Json.Serialize(model) which also contains your image System.Convert.ToBase64String(imageBytes[]) as its property.
