you could make a similar look by layering up the Render>Clouds filter in photoshop.

if you either feather the mask of the selection or layer up a few renders towards the middle where the middle renders are the lighter colours , the effect will take a little bit of 3D look to it . . . you can also make the layers blend differently to make them interact with each other a little.


the 2nd one also looks like its had a lens flare added to the centre of the glow.


I was bored, so 10 mins of messing around with the clouds filter, layers, feathered selections and i ended up with this:

Long (and I mean long) exposure to get the light of the 'glow bulb' (whaddoyoucallit)
Combined with either flash or a very still subject. Camera on tripod probabely.
Maybe also some 'light painting' to highlight certain parts of the subject (like the shirt logo on #2 and parts of the couch on #3)

No photoshop needed.
