The way you can get image file in controller or in any class, you have to inject \Magento\Catalog\Api\ProductRepositoryInterfaceFactory dependency into constructor of that class first.Like following

protected $_productRepositoryFactory;

public function __construct(
        \Magento\Catalog\Api\ProductRepositoryInterfaceFactory $productRepositoryFactory
) {

    $this->_productRepositoryFactory = $productRepositoryFactory;
}

Now you can get images like following:

$product = $this->_productRepositoryFactory->create()->getById($item->getProductId());
$product->getData('image');
$product->getData('thumbnail');
$product->getData('small_image');

You will get images dir path you can append base media url before it to render.
