If you want to send email with image as attachment (in my situation it was image that has been caught directly from form, after its saving) you can use the following code as example:

#forms.py

from django import forms
from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
from email.mime.image import MIMEImage


class MyForm(forms.Form):
    #...
    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # In next line we save all data from form as usual.
        super(MyForm, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
        #...
        # Your additional post_save login can be here.
        #...
        # In my case name of field was an "image".
        image = self.cleaned_data.get('image', None)
        # Then we create an "EmailMessage" object as usual.
        msg = EmailMessage(
            'Hello',
            'Body goes here',
            'from@example.com',
            ['to1@example.com', 'to2@example.com'],
            ['bcc@example.com'],
            reply_to=['another@example.com'],
            headers={'Message-ID': 'foo'},
        )
        # Then set "html" as default content subtype.
        msg.content_subtype = "html"
        # If there is an image, let's attach it to message.
        if image:
            mime_image = MIMEImage(image.read())
            mime_image.add_header('Content-ID', '')
            msg.attach(mime_image)
        # Then we send message.
        msg.send()
