Can anyone share how to do this lighting effect in Photoshop as a post-process? enter image description here

Solved

  1. Blur image
  2. Color filter the whole image yellow hue
  3. Add opaque paintbrush layers (with huge brush) for blue and purple colors
  4. Touch-ups/details

Besides the obvious Lens Blur it looks like it was overlayed with a Gradient Fill layer using a custom color gradient, or the overlay could have been a layer containing a few coarse color splotches: yellowish on bottom, bluish left, and purplish right.

This image may actually feature very little Photoshop or post-processing from any computer software at all. It may simply be taken with lights gelled to the appropriate color, and with the lens defocused.
