Foreign Kollective is a Brooklyn commercial photography & video studio for food, product and beverage brands. We shoot images people can almost taste, then put every frame to work. Menus. Ecommerce. Ads. Feeds. Trusted by 500+ restaurants and brands across NYC, NJ & PHL.
Most restaurant photography ends up as a screensaver, gorgeous, and completely disconnected from the places customers actually decide to order. We work the other way around.
Every frame below was shot for a working restaurant or brand, not a portfolio exercise. Hover any frame for the file data.

A beautiful photo that never converts is a screensaver. FK builds the system around the shoot, so every frame earns orders, followers, and repeat customers.
Your delivery listing is your storefront now. We shoot to each platform's spec, rebuild your menu imagery, and structure listings so the craveable stuff sells first.
Menu shoots, brand imagery, and a visual library organized for reuse, so your printed menu, website, and third-party listings finally look like the same restaurant.

Monthly content and reporting keep the engine running, and keep your food in front of new customers.
"Our delivery orders jumped the week the new photos went live. The food finally looks like it tastes."
"They didn't just shoot the menu, they told us which dishes to lead with and why. That's the difference."
"The Audit 360 was a gut-check. We knew we looked inconsistent, they showed us exactly where and fixed it."
