You must use multipart entity to upload images. like as follows :-

public void postPicture(String path, File file) throws ParseException, IOException, XmlParseException {
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        httpclient.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(path);
        MultipartEntity mpEntity = new MultipartEntity();
        FileBody cbFile = new FileBody(file, "image/png");
        cbFile.getMediaType();
        mpEntity.addPart("userfile", cbFile);
        httppost.setEntity(mpEntity);
        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
    }

Here is simple tutorial for it

Network call should not be made on UI thread.Use AsyncTask to call HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

use the code below, first you have to compress the photo and then convert bitmap(photo) into base64 and finally send it to server.

public String webServiceCall(String photo) {

    ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();

    nameValuePairs
            .add(new BasicNameValuePair("photo",  photo));
    String jsonresponse = getData(nameValuePairs);
    return jsonresponse;
}

public String getData(ArrayList<NameValuePair> params) {
    try {
        HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpClient.getParams(),
                10000);
        HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
        httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
        Log.d("In request :", params.toString());

        HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
        Log.d("Response Output", httpResponse.toString());

        HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
        is = httpEntity.getContent();
        Log.d("Response Output", is.toString());
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    try {
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        String line = null;
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            sb.append(line + "\n");
        }
        is.close();
        jsonResponse = sb.toString();
        Log.e("JSON reading ", jsonResponse);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
    }
    return jsonResponse;
}
