Django REST Framework - empty request body

Question

I've just started messing around with Django REST today and wanted to create a PUT endpoint for a photo upload. The image is then to be saved to a local folder. I'm using the MultiPartParser but request.data and request.FILES are both empty? Anyone know how why that might be?

Views.py:

class ImageUploadView(APIView):
    queryset = Image.objects.all()
    parser_classes = (MultiPartParser,)

    def put(self, request, filename, format=None):
        print(request.FILES)
        return Response(status=204)

models.py

class Image(models.Model):
    file = models.ImageField(upload_to=user_directory_path)
    date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

Here is my postman test enter image description here
