Low light photography
Low light photography isn’t just for night photography. There could be different sources with light that is less than daytime that can be used for low light photography. You can also do indoor photography with ambient light (what we have in our home) as well as light that is barely visible to our eyes.
There are three levels of low light the first level is visible which is in daylight, and when you appear to be in shadow type areas for instance behind buildings or large trees. Second level is low light which is after sunset when you can still see your surroundings but you can tell that its getting dark when your indoors. The third and final level is dark which is at night when you can only see the brightest of objects such as a high visible jacket.
The three levels of low light:

Light painting
Light paining or sometimes referred to as light drawing is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a handheld light source while taking a long exposure photo. This is to either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly towards the camera, or by moving the camera itself during its exposure. This technique is often used for scientific and artistic purposes.
ISO/ASA 200
30/1
F/6.3
You use a flashlight for light painting, this is because if your subject is too dark you add some light to it.
