PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus which efficiently forms a good-quality image in which the generation of exposure memory, etc. is suppressed, and also to provide an image forming method using the image forming apparatus. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus is provided with an electrophotographic photoreceptor having a photosensitive layer comprising a charge generation agent, a charge transport agent and a binder resin, mounted on a support. The image forming method using the image forming apparatus is also provided in the invention. As the charge generation agent, titanyl phthalocyanine crystal which has the maximum peak at Bragg angle 2θ±0.2°=27.2°in CuKαcharacteristic X-ray diffraction spectrum and has one peak in the range of 270 to 400°C other than a peak accompanied by vaporization of adsorbed water in differential scanning calorimetric analysis is used.
