Night photography refers to photographs taken outdoors after dusk (sunset) and before dawn (sunrise), where the light of the sun is not visible. Night photos may be of the night sky, moon or other astrological phenomena, or other outdoor scenes that may not include the night sky in the photo, but obviously imply that it is nighttime.Â
Photos taken inside, but clearly showing evidence of nighttime (i.e., night sky seen through a window) are permissible. Interior photos that do not show the outside, or are not affected by the outside are not, as they could be just as easily taken during the day with the lights off or shades closed.
