Nginx rule for redirecting all image files

I am new to nginx. I want to redirect the fake image path of an website to original image path. For example assume that I have so many images on example.com home directory such as example.com/a.jpeg, example.com/b.png and example.com/c.jpg. If any one calls example.com/tests/a.jpeg, then it should redirect to example.com/a.jpeg.

So I want to write a rewrite rule for redirecting image files to original location.

So an image file within any directory of the hierarchy should actually be found at the top of the document root. So the URI /path/to/image.jpeg is mapped to the physical location $document_root/image.jpeg.

This is easily achieved with a regex location combined with try_files:

root /path/to/document/root;

location ~* ([^/]+\.(?:png|jpeg|jpg))$ {
    try_files /$1 =404;
}
