Shadow box prints

-
My goal, one day, is to paint stuff I find in the world, with realism. I've only just begun.
The DMP method suggests initial paintings based on shadowbox still life, and graduating to other subjects and eventually a modified methodology.
Creating a shadowbox, acquiring and getting the lighting right, and so on is not easy, at least for me. If there were available a small set (6? 8? 10?) of large printed, color balanced still life photographs of a various glass/ceramic/fruit/organic compositions that I could purchase, then I could avoid the fuss of setting up a temporary shadow box and lighting. I'm not sure I can even manage the printing of a color balanced enlarged photo.
Is this a business opportunity for someone? I would certainly pay for a handful of ideal prints right now.

I've joined up and found several possible photos for me to try. Tomorrow I get prints. Thanks again.

There are a few photographers with that name. Judging by the photos this is the man.

His website says:
What camera and lenses do you use?I use FUJIFILM FinePix S200EXR and NIKON D7000, AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G Lens.
I reckon he also uses a diffused flash or a soft box light. No evidence for this except for the reflections in the salt and pepper pots. Results like this are easily obtainable with a macro lens.

Yes. You got him. Krasnoperov uses a Canon EOS 5D mark II.
Can!t find a webpage, but it would likely be in Russian anyway. His lighting setups are great.
