		| | 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
