How I can publish photo as payload to some mqtt topic?

I use camera mqtt to get screenshoot from laptop to ha. Now I wanna send image to the same topic that camera mqtt use when laptop is offline.

camera:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "filip_nb_screen_0"
    topic: "home/devices/notebooks/tosic/filip-nb/windows-monitor/stats/display/0/screen"

Anybody try to send a MQTT picture on the ESP32-CAM ? It will be nice to create a timelapse with the deep sleep function…
If you have some information, I’ll take it !
