The only information I have in my database so far about the photographer Bowen in Anderson is the following:
Bowen & Long
cabinet card (1890s): Bowen & Long, successor to Hyle & Paland Art Studio, Anderson
(Note: Hyle & Paland started in Anderson in late 1891 or early 1892)
J. S. Bowen, photographer
46 1/2 N. Meridian St., Anderson
The Blue Book for Amateur Photographers, American Edition, 1895, p. 239
J. S. Bowen, photographer
1895-96 Polk's Ind. State Gazetteer & Business Directory, p. 984
This doesn't mean that he wasn't in business earlier or later, rather just that I haven't checked many Anderson sources.
Hope this helps.
