Resizing Images -- 2

I have a website going live and I have some lifestyle shots that need to be resized and I have some product shots that need to be cut out so they are on transparent backgrounds. Some of that work can be automated, if it is straight resized from 3000x3000 to 1024x1024 Some of the lifestyle shots you will need to decide where to put the crop at 1024 x 1024 All images will need to be optimized for the web Some images are sent by different companies so not all are uniform, some have sent me duplicates, any that are duplicates should be flagged and left, we only need one image of each. I am arranging all the photos in the cloud currently, once they are there I will let you quote either by the cost per image or by the hour, or by fixed price for the job involved, first I want to find either the right person or the right team I am looking for someone logical, I just worked with a team that did some of the work in triplicate because they did not have the common sense to ask any questions about the work as it was being done, that to me is the difference between a good team and a great team I am looking for a great person or team that can work efficiently, I am attaching one example of a cut out and one example of a lifestyle shot that has been resized.
