I don't have an account myself, and the photos and videos I'm trying to download en masse belong to a famous person's public account. Is there anything I can use to do it (as long as it's not creating an account lol), preferably proxied tools as apparently I get blocked while behind a VPN?

Thank you!

Not sure if this would help in your case but I once was ripping images from a... Homework site.... and after recognizing all of the media files were named as _001, _002..., I created an if loop and used wget to mass download. Maybe Instagram does this for raw image links?

I feel out of the loop here. What's a homework site?

Porn. It's porn. Like the old gag of having a "Homework" folder on your computer.
