It depends on the situation and person, of course.
However, it would be as follows:
すみません。写真を撮らせてもらえますか?/Sumimasen. Shashin wo torasete moraemasuka? (Excuse me. May I take a picture of you?)
すみません。一緒に写真を撮らせてもらえますか?/Sumimasen. Isshoni shashin wo torasete moraemasuka? (Excuse me. May I take a picture of you with me?)
I hope it helps.

すみません, 一緒に写真をとってもいいですか?
sumimasen~ issho ni shashin wo tottemo ii desu ka?
Excuse me, can we take a photo together?
Saying it like this is more friendly, more kind of saying if it's okay to take a photo together.
すみません、あなたの写真をとってもいいんですか?
Sumimasen, anata no shashin wo totemo iin desu ka?

一緒 - together
