If you declare model via function:

export default (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
  ...
};

Then you should import it with sequelize.import

const Attachment = sequelize.import('../../../models/attachments')

export async function createPhoto(ctx) {
  const attachment = await Attachment.create({
    type: 'image',
    category: imageCategory,
    value: data.location
  });
}

P.S. Some recommendations

1) Name model variables with capital letter you deal with static classes.

const user = await User.findById(123)
const users = await User.findAll({where: {id: [1,2,3]}})

2) Singular not Users but User.
