-아/어 주세요
Quick answer: -아/어 주세요 means please do it for me.
How to form it
Same stem rule as -아/어요 + 주세요 · 찍다 → 찍어 주세요
In Korean: -아/어요와 같은 규칙 + 주세요 찍다 → 찍어 주세요
What to know
주다 here means do it for my benefit, not give. Almost every request in Korean takes this shape, and adding 좀 in front makes it softer still — 좀 찍어 주세요.
