This effect is not terribly difficult.

First, create the shapes, each in its own layer. They are rather simple and can easily be created with a polygonal lasso.

Then color them to your liking - the base color (in this example it's red, but you can choose any saturated color)

Next take a soft black brush and paint the shadow in. Clip it to the shape and make sure the middle (darkest) part is right in the "fold", where the shadow would be deepest. Reduce the opacity to your liking.

Then take a smaller soft white brush and brush on a new layer along the opposite side of the shape to create the highlights. I find that it works best with the blend mode on "overlay" but you might just prefer to simply reduce the opacity. Clip that to the shape as well.

Finally, for the flares, take a hard white brush and on a new layer paint where you want them to be. Use a gaussian blur - and you'll need to blur quite a lot - to get the effect you want.

Good luck!
