For those of you wondering how I did it:
-the match is fixed at its lower part
-camera manually focused on the match
-a flash behind the match, to the right, in manual, enough to properly expose the match (without the flame)
-black drop behind
-I lit the match with a lighter, while pressing the shutter almost at the same time (of course, I quickly remove the lighter from the field of the camera)

A lot of tries and different shapes. I like the best this one

Thank you for your comments
