Bicycle Aesthetics and Photography - How to take photos of your bike

When setting up a bike what anal detail do you do? And when photgraphing is there anything you insist has to be in a certain place?

Aesthetic examples:

• Tyre labels in line with tyre innertube valves.
  
• Quick releases both on non drive side.
  
• Saddle horizontal to the ground
  
• bottom of drops horizontal to the ground
  
• One neat strip of tape around the bar tape to finish of
  
• hub logo on front hub should face the same as rear
  etc, etc
  
  
  

Photographing

• Valves both at the lowest point
  
• logo on crankset should be upright
  etc, etc
  Not interested in colour schemes etc as they're very much personal taste anyway.
