Scene

A scene is any collection of visual information. A scene can generally be defined as a physical area where something occurs (a fire or police scene).

It can also be defined as a view or fragment of the overall scene contained within the viewfinder or final image area (an image scene).

Since the viewer of photojournalism is limited to the area PJs choose to document, the final image is the most common definition.
