1. Gradient background

In Photoshop, create a new document, 950 x 620px. Select black foreground color and dark grey (#384b55) background. Use Gradient tool and drag from lower-middle to the bottom of the document.

2. Thumbnail grid

Collect some sample photos and create a thumbnail grid as shown below:

Then duplicate the thumbnail grid and apply flip vertical transform (Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical). We will need this duplicated grid to create the reflection effect.

Drag the four corner anchor points and the two middle vertical lines slight upward to create the bent effect.

Repeat previous step for the reflected grid. While you are dragging the anchor points, try to keep the reflected grid align to the top layer.

Set the top layer opacity to 30% and bottom layer to 50%. Then apply a gradient layer mask to the bottom layer.

4. Glow

Make a oval selection and fill it with a sky blue color. Apply 50px Gaussian Blur (Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur). Condense it a little so it looks like a spot light.
