upload photo page

const path = require('path');

// Serve uploaded files statically
app.use('/uploads', express.static('uploads'));

// Handle file upload
app.post('/upload-photo', upload.single('image'), (req, res) => {

what's the code on your static page from below line?
app.use('/uploads', express.static('uploads'));

It could be the name of the input field is not "image".

as you check the HTML, make sure the <form enctype="multipart/form-data"> is set.
