To provide an image forming method in which the surface of a photoreceptor or the like in the steps of charging, development, transfer and cleaning is prevented from being abraded and oxidized by metal oxide particles, typically external additives present in the inside and/or the surface of a toner, thus decreasing a reduction in the photoreceptor performances, such as a change in potential or sensitivity.
In the image forming method, an electrostatic latent image carrier contains a compound having an unsaturated double bond in the surface of the carrier, the above toner for electrostatic latent image development contains a resin obtained by polymerizing a polymerizable monomer having a vinyl double bond as a binder resin, has one or more kinds of metal oxide particles and/or metal nitride particles on the surface of the toner and has a shape factor SF1 of 110-140, and the storage of elastic modulus at 160°C (G'(160)) of the toner for electrostatic latent image development is in a predetermined range.
