The peripatetic magazine photographer Anne Menke specializes in fashion editorials set in the remote corners of the planet. Those hyper-stylized images, for the likes of Vogue and Condé Nast Traveler, are in her new book, "See the World Beautiful" (Glitterati Incorporated, $85), but so are pictures of a more documentary style: Masai warriors donning beaded jewelry in Nairobi, caped nomads arriving on yaks and horses for the annual Naadam Festival in Ulan Bator, Mongolia, and women wearing necklaces of marigolds in the holy city of Varanasi, India. Menke says her travel reportage was inspired by the work of Alfred Eisenstaedt and Henri Cartier-Bresson. In the book, she writes about how deeply some of her trips impressed her, especially one to the Paucartambo Province in Peru. "It was such a soulful, transformative experience that when I returned to New York City I just sat on my couch for several days and stared at the wall." Equally stirring was Menke's 2002 trip to Lijiang, China. "This rural village high up in the mountains of southwestern China was weathered in the type of way only a deeply remote place can be, with centuries of life and wear," she writes. "There wasn't a wall, building, or face that wasn't beautifully authentic and worn."
