Is there a point in emailing local photography studios to see if they need help?
Don’t email. Many people will not take you seriously. Instead of emailing, try calling, or visiting them personally if they live close by and bring plenty of copies of your resume. Ask for a fax number and then fax them your resume immediately if you are calling. If you don’t have a resume, make one! It’s extremely important when looking for a job. Bringing quality samples of your work (such as a professional-looking portfolio) can only help you. Dress professionally and don’t get discouraged if they don’t have any positions available at the time. Ask them to keep your resume on file. Follow up with a phone call to let them know you are persistent, and really want the job. If they are impressed, you will get the job. Good luck.
