Tania asked: "My inquiry has to do with how one would or could consider something like photography collages, and whether his objection would still stand? In the collage pictured the subject is definitely not shown as a mere moment and yet it is still a photography to a certain extent, isn't it?"
I think that Scruton would claim that the photographs taken only show a mere moment, and the true art occurs when the artist gathers the photographs and arranges them in a particular way to show a passing of time. Each photograph only captures a moment, and so Scruton's objection to photography is not defeated by a collage.
Question: What about 'representation' means that it must be something other than a mere moment?
