Convert the photo to Base64 and send it as a String value. You can find lots of examples how to do this eg Base64 encoding in Python 3

If the photo is large you have to use Blobstore. More about uploading files to blobstore here . Once the photo is uploaded to the Blobstore you keep track of its blobKey . You can fetch or delete the photo from the Blobstore using the blob key.
