The absolute easiest way would be to photgraph them in a fairly
well lit room. You want to balance the ambient room light so
that it photographs about the same as the candle flame. Diffused
daylight is best. Some experimentation will be needed to get the
amount of ambient light correct. Use curtains to let less or
more light into the room, and some sheets of foamcore or
styrofoam as reflectors to aim the light where you want it.
