Yup.

Turn on file sharing on your Windows PC on the same LAN as your iOS 
device (Control Panel: Network & Sharing Center) and turn on Sharing for 
some folder. Make sure you have a password on your user account (local 
or Microsoft cloud-based).

Get the IP address of your Windows PC.

Launch the Files app on your iOS device and from the ellipsis in the top 
right, choose "Connect to Server" and enter the IP address of your PC.

When prompted, enter your PC user ID and password.

You're now connected to the server, and you can go straight into the 
sharing interface in the Photos app to "Export Unmodified Original" and 
navigate to that connected server.

Done.
