To provide a photosensitive material for photographing having high sensitivity and good graininess and giving superior radiation resistance in spite of being small in coating weight of silver.

In the silver halide photosensitive material with a blue-sensitive silver halide photosensitive unit having at least one yellow coupler-containing blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, a green-sensitive silver halide photosensitive unit having at least one magenta coupler-containing green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and a red-sensitive silver halide photosensitive unit having at least one cyan coupler-containing red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer on the base, the utilization efficiency of the oxidized body of a color developing agent in the maximum density part of the blue-sensitive unit is ≥80%, that in the maximum density part of the green-sensitive unit is 30-75% and that in the maximum density part of the red-sensitive unit is ≥80%.
