He was the cameraman for the movie Boghz which was filmed in Turkey and directed by Reza Darmishian. Touraj Aslani, the movie's cinematographer, explains that he chose Javad Jalali because of his knowledge and understanding of colors, motions and photography. He added that the movie was filmed using two cameras, either narrating its own look or jump cuts of the movie. This form of filming is a new experience in Iranian cinema.[6] He was also nominated for an award at the Fajr Film Festival for the movie and the behind-the-scenes photography of Aal and Endless Dreams.[7] He was recognized by the jury of the 29th Fajr International Film Festival for Endless Dreams.[8]

For the first time in the history of film photography, one of his photos is kept in the National Museum of the Iranian artist's forum.[9] His collection of picture stories from the movie Farewell Baghdad went on to be displayed in Melat Multiplex. In this exhibition, photographs of the movie and the behind the scene of Farewell Baghdad were shown in photo art format. It was a combination of photographs and the soundtrack of the movie. The photographs alongside the soundtrack were a conceptual event for the audience.[10]

At the 25th Isfahan International Festival of Films for Children & Young Adults, he received a Golden Butterfly for the best photograph of the movie.[11][12] Javad Jalali received the Crystal Simorgh at 30th Fajr International Film Festival for the best photography of the movie Farewell Baghdad. He received his second Crystal Simorgh at the 32nd Fajr International Film Festival for the best photography of the movie Berlin Minus Seven.
