You need to "trick" Instagram into thinking you're using an iPhone. That's done with something called a "user agent".

Open Safari.

Go to Safari -> Preferences -> check "Show Develop menu in menu bar".

Go to Instagram.com

Go to Safari -> Develop -> User Agent -> Safari iPhone.

Your webpage will reformat to a large version of what the iPhone screen would look like. It is not permanent, and is only for the open Safari page.

Click the '+' sign to add a photo.

Note: You can't add the photo directly from your Photos app. You'll have to drag the photo somewhere else (like your Mac Desktop) and attach it to Instagram from there.
