you may try this link
http://weblogs.asp.net/imranbaloch/archive/2010/04/03/image-preview-in-asp-net-mvc.aspx
it has sample project attached. If you have large number of picture you may store in file system. I think it is your decision depending upon your scenario

Html code

file to upload: <input type="file" name="Photo" id="Photo" /> 

C#

 public ActionResult Imageupload(MyObject myObject ) { //PhotoForSingleItem is just a class that has properties // Name and Alternate text. I use strongly typed Views and Actions // because I'm not a fan of using string to get the posted data from the // FormCollection. That just seems ugly and unreliable to me. //PhotoViewImage is just a Entity framework class that has // String Name, String AlternateText, Byte[] ActualImage, // and String ContentType HttpPostedFileBase file = Request.Files["Photo"]; //newImage.Name = photo.Name; // newImage.Alt = photo.AlternateText; //Here's where the ContentType column comes in handy. By saving // this to the database, it makes it infinitely easier to get it back // later when trying to show the image. //patient.photo = file.ContentType; Int32 length = file.ContentLength; //This may seem odd, but the fun part is that if // I didn't have a temp image to read into, I would // get memory issues for some reason. Something to do // with reading straight into the object's ActualImage property. try { if (length != 0) { if ((file.ContentType == "image/pjpeg") || (file.ContentType == "image/gif") || (file.ContentType == "image/x-png")) { byte[] tempImage = new byte[length]; file.InputStream.Read(tempImage, 0, length); localRepository.SaveOrUpdate(myObject);// you can insert through sql commands. } catch(Exception ex){ } return View() }
