For my projects I set the path via TS and add it in the template like this:

<f:image src="{settings.images.path}{product.image}"/>

Therefor you need to assign the settings in the controller:

$this->view->assign('settings', $this->settings);

But you could also return the full path within your getImages() method 
in your model.
