Here is one of the solutions:

     @IBOutlet private weak var blockView: UIView! {
         didSet {
          blockView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
          blockView.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
          blockView.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5
          blockView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize.zero

          blockView.layer.cornerRadius = 10
        }
      }
      @IBOutlet private weak var imageView: UIImageView! {
        didSet {
          imageView.layer.cornerRadius = 10
          imageView.layer.masksToBounds = true

          imageView.layer.shouldRasterize = true
        }
      }
