Many film directors do their work from a distance, but James Cameron has never been one of those.
The image was posted to Avatar’s official Twitter account and was taken by Jon Landau, James Cameron’s longtime production partner.
In the middle of the picture, surrounded by what appears to be wreckage, likely a result of whatever caused this fire, we see Cameron himself, with a camera on his shoulder.
He’s in the middle of things getting the shot himself.
