When you go outdoors, people are free to look at you, but that does not mean (as a rule) they can shoot pictures of you without your permission. Same principle can be applied to your property. Like, if a stalker takes a photo of your window hourly or keeps track of your car – that could be treated as infringement of privacy. If a door is unlocked, that does not mean you're allowed to trespass.

That's not generally true in the United States. If you are on public property, you can take a photo of anything or anyone you can see. You do not need their permission.
There may be local laws that restrict this, but they are not the common case.
