The son of Danish camera veteran Sophus Wangøe came into contact with the film industry through his father and followed him to Berlin in the early 1920s . There he assisted his father and has been a still photographer since the end of the same decade. While father Sophus returned to Denmark in the Third Reich , Eigil Wangøe stayed in Germany.

As a still photographer, Eigil Wangøe was responsible for Harry Piels' late silent and early sound film productions several times . Evidence of his last filmic activities (for Tobis-Filmkunst GmbH ) in the Reich capital can be found in the early 1940s.

After the Second World War , Eigil Wangøe emigrated to the USA. He and his wife, who was a good two years younger than him, settled in Friday Harbor in Washington State , where they lived to the end. What Wangøe did there for a living is not known. Sonja Wangøe outlived her husband by four and a half years.
