How to rewrite this correctly?

Server NGINX
1

Hello!

I have a directory images/stories (using joomla)

I need to rewrite this into my other subdomains

Here’s what I already set and works. But not as I expected

    location /images/stories {

      rewrite ^(.*)$ http://static.mydomain.com$1 redirect;

    }

When it’s accessed by users, it will redirect me to
http://static.mydomain.com/images/stories

How can I rewrite it into http://static.mydomain.com/files/images ?

Thank’s a lot before

Here are a few variations:

rewrite ^/images/(.)$ http://static.mydomain.com/files/images/$1
redirect;
rewrite ^/(.)$ http://static.mydomain.com/files/$1 redirect;

Here are a few variations:

rewrite ^/images/(.)$ http://static.mydomain.com/files/images/$1
redirect;
rewrite ^/(.)$ http://static.mydomain.com/files/$1 redirect;

Can you please explain me the details about it?
rewrite ^/images/(.)$ http://static.mydomain.com/files/images/$1
redirect;
Is that correct if i use
rewrite ^/images/stories/(.)$
http://static.mydomain.com/files/images/$1
redirect; ?

How about rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://static.mydomain.com/files/$1 redirect;
?
