I got to Columbia College Chicago and this is the book the teach us lighting from in the first courses.

I would definitely say learning how to light a scene comes from practice though, definitely do some reading so you can make educated decisions, but nothing beats practice.

The only diagrams for professional work I've ever seen were in a book called Motion Picture Lighting and Video Lighting. I've scanned one of the diagrams in the book as an example, though like you said, I don't think you'd have the resources to recreate it.

In this field, you have to learn by doing. Get a small lighting kit with at least three lights. Get some gels and some diffusion. Set up your camera and play around.
