Photos may open automatically, if a camera is connected, or any device, that might be considered to be a camera, for example a card in a card reader or an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.

Some applications might be launching Photos by default, for example Power Photos or Dropbox. Which application are you using, when Photos is starting on your own?
