A photographer who set out to capture "Essex Girls" said he hoped The Works would challenge the stereotype and show the diversity of women in The County .
Southend-based Mark Massey, a designer who has largely taught himself Photography , started The Project earlier this year.
He said hoped to have The Project completed by autumn next year.
Mr Massey said as a "white, middle aged man" it was essential each image was a collaboration with the subject.

"It will be good for them to look back at these images and compare.
"Yes, it is to challenge the Essex girl stereotype but I also want to show the diversity as well. "
He said the Essex Girl stereotype was a "combination of three biases all working Together " - gender, geography and class - and that he, as A Man with a working class Background - Wanted to explore each element in his Work .

Until recently, however, he had not done much portrait Photography .
