His character as a photo developer exhibited a creepy mental illness. What is the mental illness called when a lonely person fixates on certain people & becomes obsessed with them in unhealthy uncomfortable creepy ways?

That movie was an unexpected trip!
I think his obsession could be symptomatic of a number of diagnoses. He seems unable to properly empathize with the people (specifically not considering their autonomy) over which he is obsessing, which would give a healthy mind pause during the progression of events.
The best way to try to check yourself to see if you are being socially creepy, is try to imagine how your actions may be perceived by the other person. Remember that they are unaware of any context either in your mind or when they are absent. The protagonist does not seem to do this at all.
