jpeg file not recognized as image in laravel

I have made a validation for image field as

'avatar' => 'nullable|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg|max:1000',

it works for png image but fails if i upload jpeg image with message The avatar must be an image. Any thoughts? Here is form view

    {!! Form::open(['route'=>['admin.myprofile.update',$admin->id],'method'=>'put','files'=>true]) !!}
...
            {!! Form::file('avatar', ['class' => 'dropify btn-warning','data-default-file'=>$admin->avatar?asset($admin->avatar):'']) !!}
..
    {!! Form::close() !!}

The image validator is kind of buggy here. Avoid using this validator. In the accepted answer even if you remove the mimes types validator and use the image validator only as following

'avatar' => 'nullable|image|max:1000'

Then for some jpeg images, it will work fine but for most images, it will not work.

Correction for the accepted answer. There is a typo there as mimes: is repeated twice. Bellow is the corrected code

'avatar' => 'nullable|mimes:jpeg,jpg,png,gif|max:1000'

I think your rule validation is overlap each other you can change it to this and see the result:

'avatar' => 'nullable|mimes:mimes:jpeg,jpg,png,gif|max:1000'
