Does anyone knows any 3d artist especially lighting artist who offers consultancy 1 to 1 ?
Watching videos reading book really helps to put you further, but i would like to meet any professional lighting artist 1 to 1 online for consultancy ? Does anyone knows any?
1 on 1 is very rare. You may find some courses on these websites where some days you can talk with your instructor. Most of them are done in Maya or Houdini, using Blender I never saw something like.

The way of lighting that is done from other software, if i make a same approach in blender does it work?
I think for the most part it should, give or take a little ‘translation’ between specific settings or terms.

There are some features from other render engines that might be tricky to recreate in Blender, like layering, stancing, deep data (Blender doesn’t have), ACES workflow, HDR studio lights, grooming, volumes, physical correct shading. But if you’re in a course or mentorship just to learn basics of lighting, you can follow along with Blender. Also, take your goals into consideration. Maybe you’re a hobbyist improving skills, or you want to freelance using Blender, or maybe work in a post production house, animation or archviz company.
I already know some basics of lighting, i want to work to any archviz company, i want to build up my career with blender and to make ultra realistic archviz renders thats the reason i want to invest a lot more
If you’re looking for a studio job, first check which software they are using. Very important. You may find few companies that have Blender as their main tool. Usually archviz is done in 3DS, V-Ray or Corona. By following them on LinkedIn/Artstation, you may connect with some professional artists and directly ask for directions. 3D people are very friendly. You may even find a 1 on 1 archviz mentor.
I’ve been working in a studio for two years now and I will tell you in advance that Blender users aren’t very welcome. Just to keep in mind, you’ll need to show some sick skills. Good luck in your career.
Check this Blender examples, pretty neat: https://www.behance.net/?field=architecture&tools=31131&sort=views&time=all
A bit off-topic, but 4.1 went live today, and its splash screen is an arch-viz by LynxDesign, a professional (although more into interior design than sell-the-building). The blend files for the last few years of splash screens are freely downloadable, and this one (although almost three years old) might give you some insight into how a pro does these in Blender.

It would give even more insight if it wasn’t unreadable light purple text on a light grey background
