Swift 5:

You can use the below extension:

extension UIImageView {
    func applyshadowWithCorner(containerView : UIView, cornerRadious : CGFloat){
        containerView.clipsToBounds = false
        containerView.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
        containerView.layer.shadowOpacity = 1
        containerView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize.zero
        containerView.layer.shadowRadius = 10
        containerView.layer.cornerRadius = cornerRadious
        containerView.layer.shadowPath = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: containerView.bounds, cornerRadius: cornerRadious).cgPath
        self.clipsToBounds = true
        self.layer.cornerRadius = cornerRadious
    }
}

How to use:

1. Drag a UIView on the storyboard
2. Drag an ImageView inside that UIView

Storyboard should look like this:

3. Create IBOutlet for both Views, call extension on your ImageView, and pass above created UIView as an argument.

Here is the output :
