The illumination apparatus according to the present disclosure emits illumination light to an object which is to be captured by an imaging apparatus that captures an imaging area for every predetermined capturing unit. The illumination apparatus includes a controller that acquires imaging information including a scanning timing from the imaging apparatus to calculate an imaging range of the imaging apparatus at each the scanning timing, determines an illumination range at each the scanning timing using a distance to the imaging apparatus from the object present within the imaging range and a positional relation between the imaging apparatus and the illumination apparatus, and controls emission of the illumination light to the determined illumination range in synchronization with the scanning timing.
