Amazing smoke bomb photo! Can someone do something similar for me?

I am looking for a new picture for my own publicity and want something similar to this below. I want to have myself in the picture with my vide camera and tripod etc to then have some text with my details alongside.

Any recommendations or takers?

I am based in London and would like a cool scenic shot, maybe in the city or with something visually cool in the background, pretty much open to ideas.

Why not try contacting the photographer directly? Obvious has experience with that kind of thing.

I could figure it out, but it would be expensive. I'm not sure I'd feel good about advertising a photographer who wouldn't figure that out either, would seem like false publicity.

So you want to present yourself to the world and potential clients as someone with the creative know-how to create amazing imagery... but you can't actually create the imagery yourself? That's what those of us who've been grafting in this game for many years come up with time and time again, smoke and mirrors. Sorry to rant. Best of luck to you.

I am asking for someone to take a picture of me, not teach me stuff...

Sergio, you said you wanted the picture for your publicity. With your camera. So, to me it would look like false publicity.

People who saw the picture would assume you could do that.

As I said, the individual who took the photo obviously knows how. I'd contact the photographer directly. Then the photographer could photograph you. And, perhaps if a client asked for the same image, you could hire the photographer again.
