Not with any of the official Apple programs, at least not to the Apple photo application.
There are other programs that allows you to move pictures to other folders / applications, without the Sync Killer of Apple.
Or if you don't want to use iTunes and don't mind not being able to organize in albums you can use a third party solution like PhotoSync. There are others, but that is what I use.
To avoid iTunes and the Photos app altogether you can use apps like Photo-Sort or Photo Manager Pro. Again, there are lots of others.
