An image forming method capable of stably outputting an image without causing an image to flow even in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment and without causing toner to be fused to an electrophotographic photosensitive member. (1) A depth Dv (μm) of 0.5 μm or more and 5 μm or less and an opening longest diameter DL (μm) of 20 μm or more and 80 μm or less and a portion other than the recess. An electrophotographic photoreceptor; (2) A toner having a binder resin, a colorant, wax, and silica fine particles, wherein the toner has an average circularity of 0.950 to 0.980, and the silica fine particles have a number average particle size of primary particles. 60 nm or more and 300 nm or less, the silica fine particle coverage on the toner surface is 15% or more and 95% or less, and the uniaxial collapse stress of the toner when the maximum consolidation stress is 10.0 kPa is 2.5 kPa or more and 3.5 kPa or less. With some toner, It is characterized by using. [Selection figure] None |
