Judge gave up his first career as an engineer in Yorkshire to pursue his passion for photography by setting up a photographic studio in Hastings in 1902, producing postcards of local and, later, national views. He invented the bromoil transfer process and was a successful exhibitor in photographic competitions worldwide.
