At the barely-legal age of eighteen, Justine Trickett started working for Oddbins in her home town in Yorkshire, before moving to London for university, studying photojournalism whilst working at various London branches of the oddball wine retailer. A plan of making a career as a music photographer was abandoned as she became more interested in wine and spirits and moved to the wine shop at Harvey Nichols in Leeds. In March 2011, she took an Assistant Sommelier position at The OXO Tower Restaurant, where she can currently be found guarding the whisky trolley. On days off you'll still find her with a camera in hand, perhaps in the photo pit at a gig or enthusiastically attempting to educate rock bands about single malt and armagnac.
