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? – vbullinger Feb 13 '13 at 20:49

Convert your image file to Base64 and use it.
