If I were going there, I would concentrate on shooting the wonderful ethnic diversity of the people.  I would also take advantage of the legendarily beautiful scenery to do location shots.  Don't they also have a big wine industry in that area?  Winery might make a great backdrop for a series. 

What I would NOT do is waste the opportunity doing boilerplate business and medical type photos.  You can do those anywhere.

Most sensible post yet.

Being a teacher, education is a bit theme for me. How about getting some shots of/in schools in SA? You can cover a lot of concepts with that.

Great post Lisa,

 I have never been to Cape town so I am staying a bit quite on what to offer as to shooting concepts and ideas. I think Lisa makes great sense. Look for what is there that you can't get elsewhere but keep it commercial in it's application unless you are planning on shooting some editorial. Check some of the bigger Macro sites and punch in Cape town you might see some holes in what they are offering as well as check the Micro sites for holes. Good Luck.

Best,
Jonathan

Well put Pixdeluxe and arenacreative,

 Let's all talk soccer instead of just telling people they are wrong or using insulting remarks. It's my favorite past time did anyone see U.S. almost knock Mexico out of the series, so close. This stock business is a very small market even though many don't believe so and the ones that rise to the top have generally been mentors and helpers to others to get them started. All our styles are far to different to worry about sharing secrets. Helping out is cool if that is what you are into and not helping is okay to, but putting people down for no real reason is just a waste of everyones time here and doesn't reflect your own personality in a good light. I imagine that is why most of the aggressive people on this site hide their identity. If you don't want to help don't, but maybe try leaving the people alone that ask for assistance. It will save you typing time and further your own career by freeing up more of your time to shoot. This is suppose to be an informative forum. Thanks.

Best,
Jonathan

BRAVO!!! Jonathan...very well said!

What I would do is pack some long lenses go shoot Wildlife only - that would be the greatest fun for me, but most likely not the best moneymaker on the micros  ;)
