Following code can use to convert image into byte array.Here CrossMedia plugin is used to capture image from camera.

public byte[] imageByte;
Stream imageStream = null; 
var file = await CrossMedia.Current.TakePhotoAsync(new Plugin.Media.Abstractions.StoreCameraMediaOptions
       { Name = "pic.jpg"});
if (file == null) return;
imageStream = file.GetStream();
BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(imageStream);
imageByte = br.ReadBytes((int)imageStream.Length);
