The invention relates to a photosensitive element wherein the haze of the support film 10 is no greater than 1.0% and the surface resistivity of the second main side 14 opposite the first main side 12 of the support film 10 is no greater than 10<13>Omega, and the layer 20 composed of the photosensitive resin composition contains a photopolymerizing compound, a photopolymerization initiator and a binder polymer comprising a compound represented by the following general formula (I) and (meth)acrylic acid as monomer units: H2C=CR<1>-COOR<2> (I). In formula (I), R<1> represents hydrogen or a methyl group, and R<2> represents a C3-7 alkyl group.
