The Straight forward:

The native aspect ratio of a grid space on Instagram is 1:1

The site doesn’t appear to allow for any other vertical cropping beyond 4:5 -- when posting a vertical post in the 4:5 aspect ratio

If posting a horizontal photo; almost all sizes are allowed

Always use photos of the same aspect ratio when posting multiple photos to Instagram in a single post

If I could make an observation of one thing, one thing we gained over the events of the last few years, in my opinion is the growing understanding towards ourselves and our place on this planet. You can almost feel it in the air; something tangible like an alluring scent that trickles into the mind on its’ every reproach and reminds you that your alive. A spiritual awakening as we begin to see past pin holes in a simulation, and try to find our place amongst the chaos. A new interest in art immerges. Individuals who never thought they had a talent towards an art are suddenly finding themselves making whole career changes. A new generation of content creators of all ages appearing in the wildest places. Regardless of this, I am going to try and persuade you in this article that whether you think you are or not, YOU the person who is reading this is INFACT an artist. It is vitally important to identify this, and to understand what facets of your personality make you an artist in order to maximize your greatest potential in whatever it is the universe intended you to do. Find a more stable balance within your own mind, with your emotions, in your everyday life, and the interactions you have with others.
