In the U.S. anyone can take any photo whenever they want. The "taking" of the photo is not the issue. The "publishing" of it is the issue, and the web is a form of publishing. The way it works here is that if you put up a photo of an individual, who is the prime focus of the pic (not just a face in the crowd) and the person is not arguable a "public figure", and you associate the photo with any cause, commercial enterprise, etc. then you can be sued and you will probably lose. I'm not guessing here. This is not idle speculation. This is how it works here.
