Hello!

Any tips on how to best achieve a volume with dust particles?

For particles, look into this free plugin:

And for volumetrics:

Hope that helps

I feel like you could achieve this image with Bloom and Glare to get the "halo" effect around the light source and then the dust can be easily added in post. Lots of good dust and particle images out there that can be screened in Photoshop or even motion files you can comp into After Effects. I think I would always try to do that effect in post to have more control and save time.
