Why is 사진을 marked with 을?

을 is the object particle that marks 사진 as the direct object of the verb 찍다 (to take [a photo]). Without it, the listener wouldn’t know what is being taken.

How do you form ~을까요 versus ~ㄹ까요, and why is it 찍을까요 here?

If a verb stem ends in a consonant, you add -을까요.
If it ends in a vowel, you add -ㄹ까요.
Since the stem 찍 ends in the consonant ㄲ, you use 찍
- -을까요 = 찍을까요.

What nuance does ~을까요 carry in 사진을 찍을까요?

Here ~을까요 turns the sentence into a polite suggestion: “Shall we take a photo?” It can also express speculation (“I wonder if…”) in other contexts, but in this case it’s clearly inviting a group action.

Why is there no explicit subject like 우리 (“we”) in the sentence?

Korean often omits subjects when they’re obvious from context. Since this is a group suggestion, it’s clear that “we” or “everyone” is being asked, so 우리 isn’t needed.

What level of politeness is used with 찍을까요? Why add 요?

The -요 ending makes the sentence politely casual, appropriate for friends, colleagues, or people of similar age/status. It’s polite without being overly formal.
