If you like.
Yes, of course.
Where would you like me to stand?
If you want to.
I'd rather you didn't.
Not right now.
No, thanks.
I wouldn't like that.

Yes. That would be a correct question.

Here are a couple more YES responses:
"Sure, snap away."
"Cheeeeeeeeese." (whimsical -- this person doesn't even bother saying yes, but instead simply strikes a pose with a grin)
And here is an example of an indirect way of saying NO:
"I'm not at all photogenic, so I don't like having my picture taken."
