How do you learn lighting set ups? I always did street. I just

bumping for interest.

Look at the eyes. Small, single catchlight tells you this was probably a one-light setup. The density of the shadow edges (they're crisp) tells you the light was either very close or very small (maybe a speedlight.) Color of the light says it was gelled. Angle of the shadow on her face/chin/nose tells you it was above her head and pointed down roughly 45 degrees, camera left. Backlight looks like a tight angle reflector with a grid. Maybe a snoot, though i'd try a reflector first and narrow with tighter grids before going to a snoot.

Just keep looking at lighting setups. Do lots of setups and take selfies. keep trying to reverse engineer other people's lighting setups.

Watch some Gary Fong videos and ignore that he's trying to sell you some flash attachments.

it's obviously not a one-light setup.

Dozens of different setups with example photos and equipment diagrams. All pretty by-the-numbers stuff, but definitely a good place to start...

Lighting 101

This. Strobist's Lighting 101 is probably the most accessible starter's guide to lighting. At least it's the easiest to follow that I've seen.
