So lets start this tutorial

 

Step 1-

First of all open a new doucment with canvas size 1900 x 1200 px. Now apply a Double Click on the layer and apply Gradient Overlay. Switch to Radial Style and use #101213 and #253239 as the colors and also increase the scale to 141%



And you'll get this.

Step 2-

Now open MJ's picture. With the help of Pen Tool(P) or Polygonal Lasso Tool(L) select MJ and extract from background.

Step 3-

Now place MJ into the center of image and go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and use 2.0 for the Radius.

Step 4-

Next step is to go to Image > Adjustments > Hue and Saturation and reduce the Saturation to -100. After doing this go to Image > Adjustments > Levels. Then increase the Black Input to 140 and the White to 212.

Step 5-

Now select the Ellipse Tool (U) and create an ellipse like the image below, then go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and use 90 pixels for the Radius. After that create another ellipse and repeat the Gaussian Blur, this time use 20 pixels for the Radius. Group these 2 ellipses and then change the Blend Mode of the group to Color Dodge.

Step 6-

Select the Pen Tool (P) and create the spot light like given in the image below, then go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Use 80 pixels for the Radius and change the Blend Mode to Overlay then duplicate this layer 2 times and you will have 3 layers.

Step 7-

Again select the Pen Tool (P) and create another triangle like the image below just for make light brighter towards the top and middle. Then go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and use 80 pixels for the Radius. Also add another layer and then with the Brush Tool (B), use a big round brush with white for the color and paint a spot of light at the top. After that group these 2 layers and change the Blend Mode of the group to Color Dodge.

Now all we need is sparks. For creating sparks we will use Brush Engine.
Add a new layer and set white as the Foreground Color and follow the images below.



After doing that you'll get something like this

Step 8-

After all that add another layer on top of the other layers and go to Filter > Render > Clouds and make sure that you have black and white for the background and foreground colors. Then, change the Blend Mode to Color Dodge. After that select the Eraser Tool (E) and then select a big soft brush and start deleting the layer just leave just some very small areas close to the lights.

Step 9-

Now the final step, select the MJ layer and change the Blend Mode to Color Dodge. After that with the Pen Tool (P) create a black triange to use as the MJ shadow. Then select the Eraser Tool (E) and delete the end with a very soft brush, also you will have to duplicate the MJ layer and change the Blend Mode to Normal and then delete the rest of the layer but don't forget to leave the feet. We have to that because with the Color Dodge Blend Mode the black becomes transparent so MJ's shoes wouldn't appear.

Done
