<p>Establishment: it's a loaded word these days. But in this accelerated age of disposable fame and fly-by-night politics, the ability to not just get to the top, but to stay there for decades at a time, deserves more credit than ever. Born in 1946, John Swannell has been photographing the great and good since his teens. And over the course of four decades, his own rise to the top has parallelled those of the innumerable politicians, royals, musicians, artists, actors and agitators whose iconoclastic images he has captured so beautifully in revealing black and white. I'm Still Standing is a fitting tribute by one great British survivor to a lifetime's worth of perpetual achievers.</p>
