//Payee model
public class Payee {
#Id
private String id;
private Contact contact;
private String notes;
private String project;
private String member;
private Integer staffMember;
private Photo photo;
private BankAccount userBankAccount;
private PayeeBankAccount payeeBankAccountList;
//Payee constructor
public Payee(Contact contact, String notes, String project, String member, Integer staffMember,
Photo photo, BankAccount userBankAccount, PayeeBankAccount payeeBankAccountList) {
this.contact = contact;
this.notes = notes;
this.project = project;
this.member = member;
this.staffMember = staffMember;
this.photo = photo;
this.userBankAccount = userBankAccount;
this.payeeBankAccountList = payeeBankAccountList;
}
// Getters and Setters
public String getId() {return id;}
public void setId(String id) {this.id = id;}
public Contact getContact() { return contact; }
public void setContact(Contact contact) { this.contact = contact; }
public String getNotes() { return notes; }
public void setNotes(String notes) { this.notes = notes; }
public String getProject() { return project; }
public void setProject(String project) { this.project = project; }
public String getMember() { return member; }

public void setStaffMember(Integer staffMember) { this.staffMember = staffMember; }
public Photo getPhoto() {return photo;}
public void setPhoto(Photo photo) {this.photo = photo;}
public BankAccount getUserBankAccount() { return userBankAccount; }
public void setUserBankAccount(BankAccount userBankAccount) { this.userBankAccount = userBankAccount}
public PayeeBankAccount getPayeeBankAccountList() { return payeeBankAccountList; }
public void setPayeeBankAccountList(PayeeBankAccount payeeBankAccountList){this.payeeBankAccountList= payeeBankAccountList; }

photo = photoRepo.insert(photo);
return photo.getId();
}

Photo and payee PostMapping should be in one ,dont know where to go with this part
//add payee
#PostMapping('/addPayee')
public void insert(#RequestBody Payee payee){
this.payeeRepository.save(payee);
}
//add photo
#PostMapping('/photos/add')
public String addPhoto(#RequestBody Payee payee , #RequestParam("title") String title, #RequestParam("image") MultipartFile image, Model model)
throws IOException {
String id = photoService.addPhoto(title,image);
return id;

Figured it out in you model have image as binary and in youre controller have some like
#RequestMapping(value = "/update", method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes = "multipart/form-data")
public ResponseEntity update(#RequestPart("payee") #Valid Payee payee, #RequestPart("file") #Valid MultipartFile image) throws IOException
{
// routine to update a payee including image
if (image != null)
payee.setImage(new Binary(BsonBinarySubType.BINARY, image.getBytes()));
Payee result = payeeRepository.save(payee);
return ResponseEntity.ok().body(result);
}
