I just found a free app that makes it even easier: LocalSend

You install this on your phone (iphone or android), as well as on your computer (linux, windows or mac), then you can send files directly between any of these as long a they are on the same local network.

You just select your photos, click on "share", then select LocalSend and it'll show you the list of destinations to choose from (wherever you are currently running LocalSend), click on one and you're done!

On the receiving side you can select the directory where files will be transferred to, and if you set "Quick Save" option to "Favorites" then you can make your phone a favorite to avoid being prompted whether you want to accept each file it is sending.

So, it's literally just: select photos, share->LocalSend, click on destination
