It used to be called trick photography. It is a digital image in RAW processed in Lightroom.
Lightroom works with information that is already available in the image. It is not like Photoshop which can add elements into a photo or design.
Just like "real" 35mm film photography had wide aperture and ISO camera settings to allow more light onto the film, DSLRs do the same only better.
Darkroom developers cropped photos, used enlargers, and would dodge and burn an image in order to create a more pleasing affect. Lightroom does this as well - - plus many other effects with the information available in the image.
