As is the old rule, look at the final effect first.
First find a suitable photo, a photo of a person with his hands open, as shown below.
Create a new document with size 700 * 200 pixels. Using the Gradient Tool, fill a new layer with the following effect.
Then perform the Layered Clouds filter and press Ctrl+I to invert.
Adjust the color levels of the image with the following settings.
Duplicate the layer.
Activate the current lightning layer, and then execute the Free Transform command in the Edit menu to transform into the lightning held in your hand.
