Why wouldn’t you be able to see anything if you’re in the middle of deep space (place between galaxies)?

Light is just particles leaving a light source and bouncing off of things. Different colors of light are bounced off of different objects because some objects absorb more light. Those bounce backs to your eyes or a camera will recognize the object from that light.

In deep space things are too far from the light source for the light particles to hit everything enough to bounce back and for you to see it. Meaning you cant see anything around you. It’s like being in a super dark room.
