Hey I am a young transgender woman in Detroit looking for photographers who are interested in shooting me to help me.build my portfolio..are there any out there??

Try posting an Availability Notice which implies that you are willing to shoot the photographer's project. Or a Casting Call which implies that you have a project in mind. Of course you can agree to shoot a variety of projects regardless of how you make contact. Have you looked at Casting Calls that photographers have already posted?
