An image forming apparatus including a photoreceptor including a substrate, and an intermediate layer, a charge generation layer, and a charge transport layer on the substrate in this order; a charger charging the photoreceptor; an irradiator irradiating the photoreceptor to form an electrostatic latent image thereon; an image developer developing the electrostatic latent image with a toner to form a toner image on the photoreceptor; a transferer transferring the toner image onto a recording medium; a fixer fixing the toner image on the recording medium; and a discharger removing a residual potential from the photoreceptor with light, wherein the intermediate layer includes a metal oxide, the charge generation layer comprises an organic charge generation material, and the irradiator irradiates the photoreceptor with writing light having a wavelength shorter than 450 nm, which is not absorbed in the metal oxide in the intermediate layer.
