Going to a regional without cfi

I'm finishing up my commercial single engine, I have a job lined up doing aerial photography and if that goes well I don't see a reason to get my CFI. Will the regionals care if I don't have it as long as I have my atp, commercial multi and 1500 hours? Edit: just to clarify, this is not a survey job. It's aerial photography, I'll be taking pictures of farms for a sales team to go out and sell those pictures to the owners of the farms.
