Image recording method

An image recording method comprising:

• applying an ink comprising a pigment to a region of a recording medium, and
• applying a liquid composition capable of destabilizing the dispersion of the pigment to the recording medium so as to cover at least part of the region of the recording medium;
• wherein the ink comprises a polymer particle and at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of the compounds expressed by General Formula (1) and the compounds expressed by General Formula (2),
• wherein a content of the polymer particle is 3% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less relative to the total mass of the ink, and
• wherein the mass ratio of the content of the polymer particle to the content of the surfactant in the ink is 1 or more and 10 or less,
• wherein “l+n” is 3 or more and 45 or less, and m is 16 or more and 57 or less, and
• wherein “p+r” is 25 or more and 50 or less, and q is 8 or more and 25 or less.
