A copyright holder can always dual license his work. You could offer a 
the work under a BY-NC-ND license and sell the right to make 
derivatives. That's what CC+ is all about (AFICS). You could also offer 
the photo under other terms altogether. The buyer might not want, for 
example, to share his edited version of the work with the rest of the 
world. That is - you sell the right to avoid using the CC license.
