What you will get

A vertical 9:16 story photo of you in the outfit and setting you pick, with a teal-and-orange grade, soft rim light and a blurred background, leaving empty space at the top for text.

Common mistake

The picture comes out square or wide instead of tall.

Fix: Upload a vertical photo and ask for “vertical 9:16”. If it still comes out square, crop it in Instagram.

Other ways it goes wrong

The empty space at the top is filled with sky or a busy sign. Add “plain, clear space in the top third, no signs or writing there”. Say it in words so the room is really left.
The teal-and-orange grade turns your skin orange. Add “keep natural skin tone, apply the teal mostly to the shadows and the background”.
The outfit looks dull, with no detail. Describe the key pieces: “black oversized shirt, a thin silver chain, olive cargo pants with big pockets”. Named items add style.

Try a variation: daytime

Replace “blue hour” with “golden afternoon sun” and the grade with “warm and bright, light film grain”. Better for a casual weekend story.
