How to use variables in template tag arguments?

Question

I try to achieve the following:

<img src="/static/teammembers/some_name">

but if I write <img src="{% static 'teammembers/{{ image }} %}"> in the template,
then the rendered output is

<img src="/static/teammembers/{{ image }}">

what am I doing wrong?

EDIT:

In my case the solution for this question does not work, since I use an automatic cachebuster (django-cachebuster).

@alecxe I don't think it is a duplicate, since the cachebusting breaks the answers there. — Barney Szabolcs, Apr 26 '14 at 20:04
Sorry, didn't mean to offend you, looks like solution using `add` template filter is the way to go. Does it work for you? — alecxe, Apr 26 '14 at 20:06
you did not, and also thanks for the suggestion! I tried that and `` was the result. :( — Barney Szabolcs, Apr 26 '14 at 20:07

You can use with with an add template filter as suggested here:

{% with 'teammembers/'|add:image as image_static %}
    <img src="{% static image_static %}">
{% endwith %}
