Interview with Chris Rugowski, Photojournalist & Recording Artist

Chris Rugowski is the man, or chicken as he is known to many, behind Chicken or The Egg Photography. He is a photojournalist who captures your authentic story. As of 2023, he’s been in photography for about a decade, and in that time has gone from hobbyist with an iphone doing a full time job in software engineering (i.e. living in the matrix) to breaking free of the matrix to become a full time freelancer living the photography, music and journalism life.

His main focus of photography is events, music and street lifestyle. His unique vision and ability to capture life and scenes has led to work with high profile music festivals such as Rock Fest and Mile of Music, both of which get 100,000+ in attendance. He has worked with Tough Mudder, and is a staple photographer for the Downtown areas of Green Bay, WI.

He is a recording artist, with his band Age of Fable (progressive rock) and solo project The Finest Faux (acoustic rock). Age of Fable has had radio play from the Midwest all the way to Australia, with multiple singles being released from their concept album Modes of Persuasion, which focused on the concepts of Pathos, Ethos, Logos. You can find Age of Fable on any of the streaming platforms.

He writes for The Business News covering all types of business news from small startups to companies with worldwide presence. Musically, he writes for MyGlobalMind a metal and rock publication. He photographs and reviews concerts, and writes album reviews.
