I'm looking for websites or sections of photography sites that break down how a particular image was made, such as the lighting setup, camera settings, and equipment used. I found an article on DPReview that shows this kind of step-by-step explanation, and I'd like to find more resources like that.

Searching for photography "behind the scenes" takes you to a variety of sites where pro and amateur photographers explain how a shot was done.
DP Challenge also has a "How'd They Do That" section.

Yes. A good way to find this kind of content is to search for photography "behind the scenes" articles or videos. Those often show the setup, lighting, camera settings, and gear used for a shot.
You can also look at DPReview-related communities and similar photography sites. One example mentioned is DP Challenge, which has a "How'd They Do That" section where photographers explain how an image was created.
In general, the most useful search terms are things like "behind the scenes photography," "lighting breakdown," and "how this photo was taken."
