Can iCloud work without internet/Wi-Fi/cellular data?

I know for sure iCloud doesn't work without the internet, but to make sure; does the transferring of photos from iPhone 5s to iCloud work if there's no internet or whatsoever?

Like if I take photos without the Wi-Fi on, and then delete those photos later, will those photos I took be transferred to iCloud?

Just a bit confused here.
