An image forming method, comprising: providing a recording medium including a substrate and a transfer recording layer disposed thereon, the transfer recording layer being capable of changing its transfer characteristic when provided with light and heat energies; imparting heat energy to the transfer recording layer and imparting light energy to the transfer recording layer at an elevated temperature under such a condition that at least one of the light and heat energies corresponds to a recording information signal, thereby to form a transferable image in the transfer recording layer; and transferring the transferable image in the transfer recording layer to a transfer-receiving medium wherein at least light energy is imparted to the transfer recording layer prior to the formation of the transferable image.
