Chip founded a graphic design company in Cleveland, Chip Creative Artist, primarily serving the motorsport industry. Chip specialized in airbrushing, with murals, racecar graphics, and gold-leaf lettering making up the bulk of his work. While engaged in these projects, Chip soon gained national recognition as a master pin -striper of antique and classic show cars. Chip also was exposed to a wide variety of techniques, ranging from architectural renderings to billboard design. This led to a business relationship with the International Hot Rod Association that lasted over ten years and led Chip to become involved with many aspects of marketing and promotion and he was frequently consulted on advertising solutions.

In 1996, Chip was invited to join one of the world's most prestigious boat racing teams, the K.R. Racing Team. Chip became responsible for creating and maintaining the graphics on the team's two 46' twin-engine catamarans and the four Kenworth trucks used as support vehicles. Chip also functioned as the team's lead photographer and media liaison. This was very demanding work, requiring long hours and dedication as the team traveled through Europe, changing locations every two weeks.

Chip's skill and creativity behind a camera lens began to attract attention, and Chip soon became friends with a local bodybuilding promoter, Tom Rosso. Chip began to photograph Mr. Rosso's shows, and his unique style caught the eye of Mike Calvin, editor of The Great Lakes Fitness Guide. For a time, Chip coordinated working with the racing team with his new photography career, spending the off season covering bodybuilding shows in Ohio and Michigan.

It soon became apparent to Chip that photography was his true calling, and he left the racing team to focus on his skill full time. From his newly constructed studio in Sheffield, Ohio, Chip has taken his creative art to new levels. He applies his talent covering photoshoots at bodybuilding shows and other events all over the country. Chip is renowned for doing more than simply documenting an event, he makes the scenes come to life through his vibrant photographs and descriptions by blending his creative imagination and a passion for the artistic. Chip also works with a wide clientele of fitness models, both providing the photographs for their portfolios, and helping to promote their careers as well. Chip also makes his services available for weddings, graduations, business promotional materials, sporting events, etc. Chip can accommodate almost any need, whether by traveling to an exotic location or utilizing his 3 acre woodland estate overlooking a scenic river valley and nature reserve.

Today, Chip Judd Photography continues to move forward. With his studio less than three years old, Chip has already begun expansion; building new sets by hand and continually experimenting with new props and techniques. Chip has also moved his work into the digital realm through his web site, ChipJuddPhoto.com and will continue to explore his art well into the future.
