he said to me i want to see my photo (direct speech)

Explanation:
Whenever you are changing direct speech to
indirect (reported) speech and indirect speech to direct speech, there are some structural changes in the sentence. For example, the changes in “I can show you some pictures” are that the pronoun “I” becomes the pronoun “he,” and the pronoun “you” becomes the pronoun “me.” Also, in accordance with the grammatical rule regarding the sequence of tense, there may be a change in tenses, for example, in this particular case, since the main-clause verb is past tense, the verb “can” becomes “could.” So, the sentence: he said, “I can show you some pictures” becomes “he said (that) he could show me some pictures.” Look at the analysis of the sentence,
He said = main clause.
(that) he could show me some pictures= noun clause object of the verb “said.”
NOTE: The conjunction (subordinating conjunction) “that” heads or introduces a noun clause. However, in the English language, this conjunction “that” may be omitted without altering the syntactic structure or the semantics of the sentence.
