Can't profess to be an instructor in this area of photography. I've resorted to flash or Open aperture to let more light in and slow shutter speed down to attain an acceptable picture. For me, it's been a hit or miss and trial by error. I'm positive there are guys out there that have this Challenge perfected much better than I.
I'll attach some of my attempts.

This is one of my favs.from Outer Banks shot with a timer at sunset

What, exactly, constitutes 'low light'?

Probably a nice picture, but if you want to see their faces you'll have to use a flash

My guess is low natural light-eve, sunrise,overcast, dark room,i was not the person who chose this category. I'll try to find out if there is a photography type definition.
Here you go from Wikipedia-pretty close to my suggestion..

Night photography refers to photographs taken outdoors between dusk and dawn. Night photographers generally have a choice between using artificial light and using a long exposure, exposing the scene for seconds, minutes, and even hours in order to give the film or digital sensor enough time to capture a usable image. With the progress of high-speed films, higher-sensitivity digital image sensors, wide-aperture lenses, and the ever-greater power of urban lights, night photography is increasingly possible using available light.

Ok. I don't do night photography, so I guess I'll pass on this one.
