Android: How to get Contact by providing email and not ContactID?

I wrote following method to get photo by Contact Id:

private String getPhotoStringFromDevice( String  contactId){

        String photoString = "none";

            String tmpPhotoString = "";

            Uri person = ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, Long.valueOf(contactId));
            Uri photoUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(person, ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);

            ContentResolver cr = mContext.getContentResolver();

            Cursor c = cr.query(photoUri, new String[] {ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.PHOTO}, null, null, null);

            if (c.moveToFirst()) {
                byte[] photoBytes  = c.getBlob(0);

                photoString = Base64.encodeToString(photoBytes, Base64.DEFAULT);

            }

            c.close();
         return photoString;
    }

However I have only email and don't have ability (performance issues) to run on all contacts to fetch contactId by email.

Is there any way to get photo by email?

Thanks,
