I would like to have an idea of people's favorite lenses for environmental or editorial portraiture. I have a Canon Rebel with Tamron lens 28-75 and 18-55.
Thanks.

I am specifically interested in "environmental" portraiture where some of the relevant surroundings, either in a room or outdoors would be in focus and pulled in close in such a way as to be of almost equal importance to the subject. That is, where the surrounding elements help define the subject. Perhaps I don't have the right photography vocabulary to express myself.
Thanks for any more info.

I also use quite often a longer lens: the 70-200mm 2.8 IS to stay further away from your subject and creating a complete unfocused soft bakground !!!
