Foreign Kollective is a Brooklyn commercial photography and video studio built for brands that want more than pretty pictures. We shoot food, product, beverage and brand imagery, plus video, then deploy it where customers actually decide to buy: ecommerce, delivery apps, menus, social feeds and ads. Here's exactly what we do.

Studio-grade food photography, shot on location across NYC, New Jersey and Philadelphia. We light and style every dish so it looks the way it tastes, then build you a full visual library organized for menus, your website, print and third-party listings. One session, one consistent look everywhere your restaurant shows up.
DoorDash, UberEats and Grubhub are your busiest storefront, and most restaurants are losing orders to blurry, inconsistent photos and a badly ordered menu. We shoot to each platform's spec, rebuild your item imagery, and restructure your listing so the high-margin, high-craving items sell first.
Before we shoot a single frame, we score how your brand shows up everywhere a customer finds you: Google, delivery apps, Instagram, your website and your printed menu. Audit 360 is our proprietary visual diagnosis, it turns "something feels off" into a prioritized, dollar-by-dollar fix list.
We don't sell hours, we sell outcomes. Every engagement runs the same four-step loop so the photography actually earns its keep.
Great restaurant photography is table stakes in New York, the differentiator is what happens after the shutter. Our process is built so a single shoot day compounds: the audit tells us what to shoot, the shoot feeds every channel, deployment puts each frame where it converts, and monthly growth work keeps new customers discovering you. If you only need images, we'll shoot them beautifully. If you want the whole engine, it's the same team, start to finish.
Social content engine
A single shoot day becomes a month of content. We batch reels, stills and stories, then schedule and post them, so your Instagram and TikTok stay alive whether or not you had a spare minute this week. Consistent posting is what keeps a restaurant top-of-mind; we make it automatic.
- Monthly content calendar built from your shoot
- Short-form video (reels & TikToks) + still posts
- Captions, hashtags & scheduling handled
- Story templates & highlight covers
