File uploading in Django REST framework is the same with uploading files in multipart/form in django.
To test it you can use curl:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" -u {username}:{password} \
-F "{field_name}=@{filename};type=image/jpeg" http://{your api endpoint}
Other fields are just like normal form fields in Django.

so what if your curl has json data and an image at the same time?

I think you can add those data as form field data as well (in -F parameter). Forgot what I did since I haven't been working on REST framework for a few months now.

Leonid: Did you get the answer of your question. can we json data and image at the same time.

@Leonid check out this code github.com/zheli/duego-photo-gallery. I remember I succeed with this one. You can look into the test for upload in rest_api app.

@Zhe I can't get the test APIClient to upload files - I keep getting a UnicodeDecodeError on the .post call. Did you have to do anything to get this to work?

Zhe answer is pretty well. Besides, you can add some parameters in order to see the response. Take this one for example:
curl -X PATCH --dump-header - -H "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" -u jorge:123456 -F "image=@/home/oscar/Pictures/dgnest/_MG_6445.JPG;type=image/jpeg" http://localhost:8000/api/project/3/
