Subview position when resizing aspect fill UIImageView

Subview position when resizing aspect fill UIImageView

I'm trying to create layout of multiple UIImageViews that would retain
correct visual alignment after scaling. Eg.:

UIImageView *eyeView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:eyeImage];
eyeView.frame = CGRectMake(200, 250, 200, 200);
eyeView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
eyeView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth |
UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin |
UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin |
UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleBottomMargin |
UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleLeftMargin;
UIImageView *faceView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:faceImage];
faceView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1000, 1000);
faceView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
[self.faceView addSubview:eyeView];
Then I add it to target view which has dimensions of applicationFrame (eg.
480x300):
[self.handsetView addSubview:faceView];
The problem is that eyeView is mispositioned relatively lower than it
should. I suspect that it is due to UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin
and UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill not working nicely together:

Layout is transformed correctly if i use UIViewContentModeScaleToFill on
faceView. Is it possible to create such a layout with autolayout
constraints or should I use different approach? Could you please point me
in right direction?
