Stunning photos of 'sea gypsies,' who spend their lives in the water

Last year, French photographer Réhahn took a trip to some of Malaysia's most remote islands in the hopes of documenting the lives of the Bajau, the "sea gypsies" who inhabit the area.

Located off the east coast of the Malaysian city of Sabah, the island of Borneo was Réhahn's jumping-off point. From there he visited eight small islands that are many miles removed from civilization.

Some tourists may know this area for its amazing dive sites, but Réhahn saw a different side: tiny villages made up of huts built on stilts in the middle of the ocean.
