The staff photographers Martin Schoeller and Steve Pyke talk about how they got their start in photography, how they research their subjects, and how assignments for The New Yorker differ from work for other magazines. Schoeller and Pyke are featured in “Portraiture Now: Feature Photography” at the National Portrait Gallery, in Washington, D.C., through September 27, 2009.
