Yes, sure. Use separate server{} block for a domain name you want
to be handled specially, e.g.:

server {
server_name foo.example.com;

location / {
# just serve anything as static
}
}

server {
server_name bar.example.com;

location / {
# server anything as static...
}

location /images/ {
# ... but proxy images to a backend
proxy_pass http://backend;
}
}
