A leisure centre pervert took photos of a woman by holding his camera under a changing room door.
The alarm was raised at the Blackwater Leisure Centre, in Maldon, when the shocked woman saw what was happening.
She called for help but the man ran out of the centre in Park Drive.
Leisure centre staff later recovered a camera hidden in a disabled changing cubicle.
Insp Kevin Jacobs, of Maldon police, has criticised the leisure centre, saying the man could have been caught if CCTV was installed.
Police are not linking the incident with any of the reports of indecent exposure in Maldon over the last few months.
The man, who police want to question on suspicion of criminal voyeurism, was white, in his mid 20s, and about 5ft 6ins tall. He was wearing a black T-shirt. Anyone with information should call 01621 852255.
