The photographer, who swapped a career as a biologist for a life behind the lens, first learned about the legendary Maliau Basin ten years ago, but was warned about the logistical and physical difficulties of entering. “Numerous people I spoke to said Maliau Basin was extremely tough, much, much more difficult than climbing Mt Kinabalu,” says Nick. “I’ve been to Borneo often, climbed Kinabalu three times and visited other fantastic rainforest areas, but the Basin has always been a place of mystery – which made me want to go even more.”
