You should be able to do it with this

$is_featured = CollectionAttributeKey::getByHandle('is_featured');
if (!$is_featured instanceof CollectionAttributeKey) {
   $is_featured = CollectionAttributeKey::add("boolean", array(
      'akHandle' => 'is_featured',
      'akName' => t('Is Featured'),
      'akIsSearchable' => true,
      'akIsSearchableIndexed' => true), $pkg);
}
$photo = CollectionAttributeKey::getByHandle('photo');
if (!$photo instanceof CollectionAttributeKey) {
   $photo = CollectionAttributeKey::add("image_file", array(
      'akHandle' => 'photo',
      'akName' => t('Photo')), $pkg);
}


If you are working with 5.7 you will need these at the top of the controller I believe

use \Concrete\Core\Attribute\Type as AttributeType;
use CollectionAttributeKey;
